Do I have to send multiple requests one by one to get all nodes? #29

Say I'm fetching followers, using similar code as the pagination example. Now, if I have 600 followers, does it mean I have to send 6 requests to get them all? And it seems there's no way to parallelize it, since end cursor is needed to perform the next request?

Yes, that's right. If the max page size is 100 followers, then you'll need to make 6 requests to fetch all 600 followers.

And it seems there's no way to parallelize it, since end cursor is needed to perform the next request?

Correct, you need to fetch the pages sequentially, as far as I know.
