/get_beatmaps get "next 500" #274

Open varn88 opened 5 years ago

varn88 commented 5 years ago

Hey, after sending a request that would have more than 500 results I get the first 500, is there a way to send a new request to get the remainder of the results, instead of getting the first 500 again?

I started working on a little database for (mania) maps, which I could sort by number of favs, and pick up some good maps I don't yet have. But for this I'd have to get all beatmaps first.

It would be convenient if I could send a request to send me the hits from number 501-1000 next and so on. or if the batch of 500 results could be considered a 'page' and I could send a request to tell me how many hits or pages are there for my filter, and then request for the hits on page 'X'.

edit: rephrased the question to make it easier to understand

Use the since parameter - start at the earliest date, look at the latest date on the page of 500, and use that as your next since param. Loop until all beatmaps are retrieved.

according to the wiki, since only returns ranked and loved maps, but my main target would be graveyarded hidden gems here
