# Pagination

Some requests (mostly the requests that return [collections](/getting-started/interpreting-the-response/collections.md)) may also accept some pagination options.

* perPage: The number of items to return per page. Note that most requests have a cap on this number and providing a perPage option greater than that cap will not have any effect.
* start: The record to start paging from. Note this number is zero based, i.e. to return results from the very first result, the start will need to equal 0 (which is the default). Note also this is not the page to start at. For example to get the second page from a list of results that have 20 results per page, the start property will need to equal 20 (i.e. starting at the 21st result)

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
