Hi, #snac author here again. I've installed Pachli and I'm experimenting the same issue than @nowster@fedi.nowster.me.uk: it keeps requesting the first page over and over again, with no max_id nor since_id fields to paginate, only a limit field of 40.

@grunfink @nowster @justine The link header is not being sent by snac.

I have a test account with 4 statuses in the home timeline.

/api/v1/timelines/home returns all 4 statuses and no link header in the response.

/api/v1/timelines/home?limit=1 returns an array of 1 status, as expected, but is also missing the link header, so can't be paginated.

@grunfink @nowster @justine The Mastodon docs are a bit ambiguous about this. Arguably, if the link header is missing a client could assume it could behave as though it did exist, with the IDs of the first and last items in the returned page.

That might be what snac is doing. For interoperability purposes it's probably better to always return the link header.

Hi. I've just implemented the link header and Pachli seems to page correctly and not get stuck requesting the first page.

This will probably also improve snac behaviour with other apps.
