Summary

Let’s examine our request and point out a few things.  First, if we visit our api documentation on the developer portal, we’ll see that our api request can take parameters.

Specifically, we could pass a cursor, a startTime, or endTime.  We didn’t pass either startTime or endTime in our request, which means we want all logs.

Let’s examine this json response, and take note of a few things.

We’ll notice that the response contains a nextPageToken element.  Because our request could potentially return thousands of logs, they do not all get returned in a single response.  This api returns a paged response.  This means that we get a subset of the response (200 items in this instance).  In order to get the rest, we use the nextPageToken to make subsequent calls.

If our next response contains a nextPageToken, then we use that one to make another call.  We continue making requests until the response no longer contains a nextPageToken.
