Implements efficient API pagination using offset, cursor, and keyset strategies for large datasets. Use when building paginated endpoints, implementing infinite scroll, or optimizing database queries for collections.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# API Pagination

Implement scalable pagination strategies for handling large datasets efficiently.

## Pagination Strategies

| Strategy | Best For | Performance |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| Offset/Limit | Small datasets, simple UI | O(n) |
| Cursor | Infinite scroll, real-time | O(1) |
| Keyset | Large datasets | O(1) |

## Offset Pagination

```javascript
app.get('/products', async (req, res) => {
  const page = parseInt(req.query.page) || 1;
  const limit = Math.min(parseInt(req.query.limit) || 20, 100);
  const offset = (page - 1) * limit;

  const [products, total] = await Promise.all([
    Product.find().skip(offset).limit(limit),
    Product.countDocuments()
  ]);

  res.json({
    data: products,
    pagination: {
      page,
      limit,
      total,
      totalPages: Math.ceil(total / limit)
    }
  });
});
```

## Cursor Pagination

```javascript
app.get('/posts', async (req, res) => {
  const limit = 20;
  const cursor = req.query.cursor;

  const query = cursor
    ? { _id: { $gt: Buffer.from(cursor, 'base64').toString() } }
    : {};

  const posts = await Post.find(query).limit(limit + 1);
  const hasMore = posts.length > limit;

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/api-pagination@sha256:e418747357606b04

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260402.75421fa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
