Message Pagination

To manage large sets of data efficiently, the SES Monitor API's Messages Endpoint supports pagination. This feature allows you to retrieve your data in manageable chunks or "pages". Here's how you can utilize pagination in your API requests.

page

• Description: Specifies the page number of the results.
• Format: An integer.
• Usage: To navigate through multiple pages of results.

per_page

• Description: Determines the number of results per page.
• Default: 25 results per page.
• Maximum: Can be set up to 100 results per page.
• Format: An integer.
• Usage: To adjust the number of results returned in a single request.

To implement pagination in your request, you'll need to include the page and per_page fields in your POST data. Here's an example using CURL:

curl -X POST 'https://api.sesmonitor.com/api/v1/messages/list' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_ACCESS_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
      "query": {
        "mailer_timestamp_gte": "2024-01-01 00:00:00",
        "mailer_timestamp_lte": "2024-01-31 23:59:59"
      },
      "page": 2,
      "per_page": 50
    }'

In the above example the request retrieves messages sent between January 1, 2024, and January 31, 2024. It requests the second page of results with 50 messages per page (instead of the default 25).
