Six Common Pagination Bugs That Break Oracle Fusion REST API Integrations
Oracle Fusion REST APIs paginate all collection responses by default, returning only the first 25 rows unless developers explicitly handle pagination — a behavior that can silently cause incomplete data fetches. Common integration bugs include ignoring the hasMore flag, using incorrect offset calculations, and failing to account for server-side limit overrides that can cause entire pages to be skipped. Unstable query ordering without a unique sort key can cause records to shift between paginated calls, leading to missed or duplicated data in nightly syncs. Repeatedly requesting totalResults on every page adds unnecessary database load, and restarting pagination from scratch after a 429 rate-limit error wastes thousands of API calls. Developers can avoid these pitfalls by always sorting on a stable unique key, incrementing offsets using the response's actual limit value, and using the onlyData=true parameter to reduce payload size.
