Blogger API v3 : when calling /posts/search/, parameter nextPageToken is ignored

[ludovic-lambert]

Env : javascript, using XMLHttpRequest and JSON API.

When calling {URL}/posts/?{parameters} :

• the 10 first items are returned
• if the response contains more than 10 items, an attribute { "nextPageToken":"xyz" } is added to the JSON data response.

Then when calling {URL}/posts/?{parameters}&pageToken={nextPageToken} :

• the response contains the next 10 items
• a new nextPageToken is returned until no more page

=> Looks like the expected behavior, working fine.

However:
When calling {URL}/posts/search/?q={query_string}{parameters} :

• the 10 first items are returned
• if the response contains more than 10 items, an attribute { "nextPageToken":"xyz" } is added to the JSON data response.

Then when calling
{URL}/posts/search/?q={query_string}{parameters}&pageToken={nextPageToken} :
- the 10 first items are displayed again (ie not the next 10),
- returned nextPageToken is the same than first call

Looks like pageToken is ignored for /posts/search/.
Is this the expected behavior ? How to access items of /posts/search/ response returning more than 10 items?

This is the repository for the java client so this issue doesn't belong here.

However, to answer the question, the posts search endpoint does not appear to accept a pageToken parameter.

Hi, thank you for your answer. According to the fact a nextPageToken is provided, and as it should be possible to retrieve more than 10 items from a /posts/search/, I think this might be a bug. Could you please guide me to the right place to open this issue?

Is the issue resolved? if yes please share the solution, I am facing the same issue, can't get the next 10 items in the search endpoint.

Meu blogger na api não tem nextPageToken nem nextPage. O que fazer? Só tenho 3 postagens por página. E 3 páginas ao total do blogger. 9 postagens. O blogger retirou isso para novos blogs?

Definitely, it's not a bug, though it needs more clarification, you can refer to this document from Blogger API v3.

to get the pagination work you need to call the API with maxResults={pageSize} then you will get an extra value in the response 'nextPageToken', you should use the value of this field and pass it with. 'pageToken' NOT 'nextPageToken'

https://blablabla?maxResults=10&pageToken={VALUE_OF_NEXTPAGETOKEN}

when you reach the end of the list you won't get the nextPageToken anymore and it means nothing more to fetch.

It doesn't appear to be an issue with the library itself. If anything, it's the service.
