3 years ago @ngouy have you explored the pagination feature the library offers and see if that helps? You could do a list to get the total number of records and if you know the total number of records and the page size, in theory you can figure out what the last page is and query just that page.
Issue Summary
When querying a list, I am trying to retrieve only the last of something (if I understand it well, every of your REST API resources lists are sorted by updatedDate

But it only includes current/previous/next page links, and the current page size It would be very useful if it also included AT LEAST one of the following:With that I would be able to at least retrieve the "last" of the list with 2 calls, the first one would include all of the necessary data to retrieve the last page (and so resource)
"fun fact", I'm already able to do that today but it's ugly: In my first call, I'm querying the n'th page (where

When querying it with exact given params, I'm respond with, as expected, the last item of the given resource listTechnical details:
