One of the biggest ways people struggle with APIs in n8n is pagination: they can’t get all the data they need, or they end up with a messy output that pushes them into unnecessary code nodes. In this video, I break pagination down so it actually clicks. I start with the “why” (speed, server load, timeouts) and a simple website analogy (eBay/Amazon pages), then we jump straight into n8n and the HTTP Request node. From there, I walk through two real APIs (PokeAPI and Rick and Morty) and about nine practical examples: changing limit and offset, using n8n’s built-in pagination settings, handling “next URL” pagination, setting a clean completion condition (when next becomes null), and adding request intervals to avoid rate limits. After we fetch everything, I show how to clean the response without code: use Edit Fields to keep only what matters, then Split Out to turn arrays into usable rows/columns. By the end, you’ll know the only two things you really need for pagination: how to go page-to-page, and how to know when to stop.
