Hey @pale oasis
Let's say you have 3 products, prod_A, prod_B and prod_C (most recent)
when you search the first page will return prod_C (most recent). If you ask for the next page you say "hey give me the products after prod_C" so we return prod_B, etc.
Now if you search and get prod_C and you use ending_before, then you get nothing since there's nothing more recent than prod_C
Does that make sense?

I mean just stick with my scenario 😅
pale oasis
suppose limit = 1
first call it returns has_more = true, and next_page=wwwww
call the endpoint again passing limit=1 and page=wwwww
it will return has_more = true and next_page=bbbbb
if I call the endpoint with limit=1 and page=wwwww (going back) then it will return has_more = false, and next_page=null
see what I mean?
it looks like a tonge twister
fast sail
what do you mean by "going back" in your sentence?
pale oasis
the pagination can move forward and backward
the thing is:
in the 3rd page of the pagination the next_page will be null and the has_more will be false
but if I want to go from the 3rd page to the 2nd
I can not receive a false data

Do you have some code? I'm sorry I am not following you at all
pale oasis
ok, I will try to rephrase
I have 100 products
I want to get them 10 by 10
so far so good?
first call to the search will return the very first 10 items and has_more as true and the next_page as 'asdksjdsalkdjsadk'
second call will have limit=10 and page='asdksjdsalkdjsadk', it is supossed to return 2nd page
right?
fast sail
yes
I'm still really confused by your words, so sticking with my example.
1/ I call the search API and I get prod_A + next_page: 'aaa'
2/ I call the search API with page: 'aaa' and I get prod_B + next_page: 'bbb'
3/ I call the search API with page: 'bbb' and I get prod_C + next_page: 'ccc'
4/ I call the search API with page: 'aaa' and I get prod_B + next_page: 'bbb' (same as the example in #2)
with that concrete example, what part is not working for you?
pale oasis
the 4th

Cool so that works totally fine for me with real code. Can you share real code that I can use to reproduce?
pale oasis
I can't sorry
my code is spreaded into my react component
oh, sorry, maybe this could help
using nodejs and express
return await stripe.products.search(params);

I have written end to end code paginating and clearly trying multiple pages. So I'm going to need a bit more from you than this to be able to help you
Can you give me a simple end-to-end code reproducing the exact issue? Because right now it looks more like a misunderstanding
pale oasis
you know what? I will try this again from scratch
fast sail
Yeah that might help, I wonder if you're mixing up the page ids during attempts
'query' => 'active:\'true\'',
'limit' => 1,
]);
$nextPage1 = $products->next_page;
stripeDump($products);
$products2 = $stripe->products->search([
'query' => 'active:\'true\'',
'limit' => 1,
'page' => $nextPage1,
]);
$nextPage2 = $products2->next_page;
stripeDump($products2);
$products3 = $stripe->products->search([
'query' => 'active:\'true\'',
'limit' => 1,
'page' => $nextPage2,
]);
$nextPage3 = $products3->next_page;
stripeDump($products3);
$products4 = $stripe->products->search([
'query' => 'active:\'true\'',
'limit' => 1,
'page' => $nextPage1,
]);
stripeDump($products4);```that's my basic PHP example
pale oasis
thanks
fast sail
keep me posted!
pale oasis
you were right, it workds
