getTemplates pagination issue

Welcome to the Klaviyo community, @prelich !

The null prev link in your Klaviyo API response for getTemplates suggests you're on the first page of results. Here's how to handle it:

Understanding the Issue:

• Klaviyo uses cursor-based pagination.
• prev points to the previous page based on the current cursor position.
• Null prev means you're at the first page (no prior results).

Solution:

1. Specify Starting Cursor (if applicable):

   • If you know there are more pages, include a starting cursor value in your initial getTemplates request. Refer to Klaviyo's API documentation for details on constructing and using the cursor parameter.(Klaviyo API Articles)

2. Iterate Through Pages (if applicable):

   • Assuming multiple pages, keep making API calls using the provided next link until you receive a response with a null next link (indicating the last page).

By following these steps, you should be able to effectively navigate through paginated Klaviyo template data using the klaviyo-api-node SDK.

@Sujal That is the approach I am taking:

1. I make a call to getTemplates without a pageCursor
2. That call returns the first page with the corresponding `next` link which I then use in the following getTemplates call.

This does get me to the point where I can navigate through each page using the `next` link, however I cannot navigate backwards as the `prev` link is always null.

Ohh I get it @prelich , what you can do is:

1. Maintain a Cursor List: To achieve "backwards" navigation, consider maintaining a list of cursors you've already used. This allows you to iterate back through the list if needed.

2. Track Current Position: Keep track of your current position within the list of cursors (e.g., an index).

3. Navigate Backwards: When you need to navigate back, retrieve the previous cursor from your list based on the current position, and use it in a new getTemplates call.

@Sujal Hmm that could work, but seems like it should be unnecessary. Should this not be taken care of with the `prev` link? I’m wondering what that link is used for then if it doesn’t satisfy this use case?
