I'd like to be able to extract an API response Header through the REST/URL connector in Klipfolio. I understand this functionality doesn't currently exist but it is the only way I can obtain the total number of records for an API class I am querying.

Hi Sam,
Thank you for contributing to the community!
Can you help me better understand what you are trying to do? It would be great to know more about what information you are trying to capture and how you would like to use it. This will help with defining the request and with prioritization.
Thanks,
Scott.

Hi Scott, there is an application I am connecting to called Tradegecko. I want to be able to build dashboards on a class called order_line_items which contains granular data at the product level. As it's a large dataset the only way to extract the data is to use pagination where I need to obtain the total number of records. Unfortunately this value isn't available as meta data when you create the datasource. I've been informed the only way I can extract the total number of records is throught the HTTP header.

Cheers,

Scott,
Has this been considered? I'm trying to accomplish the same thing. Thanks!

Same situation - we can't effectively utilize the data from our ecommerce site because of the pagination issue.

Similar situation here - I need to be able to paginate my data source but there is no way to get a record count or page count in advance to determine the number of pages required. The page count is stored in the response header, however... so if we could get a hold of that it owuld be immensley helpful.

Hi Sam, Jon, Leann and Jerry,
Thank you for raising this request in our community! It is currently not in our immediate roadmap; however, we will be scheduling an investigation into simplifying pagination of datasources. We will utilize this as a use case in addressing pagination and we will be sure to reach out to you with our results.
Best regards,
Kaushi Bandara.
