# Pagination

We’ve implemented pagination to ensure consistent responses, even when data changes between requests. To improve reliability and efficiency, we’ve transitioned from page-based pagination to cursor-based pagination. Now, instead of using the `page` parameter, you should use the `after` parameter for **larger datasets** (i.e. appointments, treatments, patietns, ledger transactions and patient referrals), which should contain the ID of the last item from the previous page. This approach offers a more stable way to paginate through dynamic datasets. You can specify the number of **items** to return using a query parameter, with a maximum allowed value of **5000**. For rest we will keep using `page` parameter.
