REST API - How to get metadata for paging

[ccurti]

Hi @user12 and welcome to the Atlassian Developer Community. It’s nice to have you here!

The number of users returned is based on the maxResults query parameter which is set to 50 by default. If the number of returned items are less than the maxResults used in a request, then the last page has been reached. If not, then the startAt query parameter can be used to retrieve the next set of users.

There is a thread here which also provides some ideas about how to go about this and some history:

Get All Users - Max value for maxResults parameter?

Hello all! I’m reading this document https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-users/#api-rest-api-3-users-get it says here that for the endpoint GET /rest/api/3/users we can send a query parameter called maxResults, with a default value of 50. But what is the maximum value we can give to this parameter? Can I ask for 10,000 users? Or is the default value already the maximum value? Edit: I would also like to extend this question for this endpointt: /rest/servicedes…

I could also find this feature request for adding pagination:
