SDKs should typically return a lazy iterator in languages which support it, so caller do not even care about pagination and just iterate on it until they don't want any more data; while the SDK fetches new pages when needed. In pseudo-Python: def get_stuff(): url = "https://example.org/api.php" while url: response = requests.get(url) yield from response.json() url = parse_link(response.headers["link"]).next and you call it with: for item in get_stuff(): print(item)
