As a consumer of such APIs on the Horizon side, I'm all for consistency in<br>
pagination, and more of it, so yes please!<br>

Around the middle of October a spec [1] was uploaded to add<br>
pagination<br>
support to the os-hypervisors API. While I recognize the use case it<br>
seemed<br>
like adding another pagination implementation wasn't an awesome idea.<br>
<br>
Today I see 3 more requests to add pagination to APIs [2]<br>

Perhaps I'm over thinking it but should we do something more strategic<br>

than scattering "add pagination here".<br>

</span><div>An attempt at an API guideline for pagination is here [1] but hasn't received any updates in over a month, which can be understandable as sometimes other work takes precedence.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps we can get that guideline moving again?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If it's becoming difficult to reach agreement on that approach in the guideline, it could be worthwhile to take a step back and do some analysis on the way pagination is done in the more established APIs. I've found that such analysis can be very helpful
as you're moving forward from a known state.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The place for that analysis is in Current Design [2] by filling in the Pagination page. You can find many examples of such analysis from the Current Design like Sorting [3].</div>
