Enterprise feature

This feature is available only for the Enterprise plan. To get started, reach out to support@buildwithfern.com.

The x-fern-pagination extension configures auto-pagination for list endpoints in your OpenAPI specification. SDK and CLI users get automatic pagination without managing page tokens manually.

To configure pagination:

  1. Annotate the desired paginated endpoint with the x-fern-pagination extension
  2. Specify the pagination scheme (offset, cursor, next_uri, or next_path)
  3. Specify where your results are located using dot-access notation
1paths:
2 /plants:
3 get:
4 operationId: list_plants
5 x-fern-pagination:
6 offset: $request.page_number
7 results: $response.results
8 parameters:
9 - name: page_number
10 in: query
11 schema:
12 type: integer
13 responses:
14 '200':
15 description: List of plants
16 content:
17 application/json:
18 schema:
19 type: object
20 properties:
21 results:
22 type: array
23 items:
24 $ref: '#/components/schemas/Plant'

Configuration options

The x-fern-pagination extension supports the following properties:

PropertyDescription
offsetPath to the offset parameter in the request (e.g., $request.page)
cursorPath to the cursor parameter in the request (e.g., $request.cursor)
next_cursorPath to the next cursor value in the response (required for cursor pagination)
next_uriPath to the next page’s URL in the response (e.g., $response.next_page_url)
next_pathPath to the relative path for the next page in the response (e.g., $response.next_page_path)
resultsPath to the results array in the response (e.g., $response.data)
stepPath to the page size parameter, ensures offset increments correctly
has-next-pagePath to a boolean indicator for additional pages

Finding the location of your results

If your results are nested within the response object, use dot-access notation to specify the path. For example, if results are located in my_nested_object.inner_list, the results path would be $response.my_nested_object.inner_list.

1MyResponseObject:
2 type: object
3 properties:
4 my_nested_object:
5 type: object
6 properties:
7 inner_list:
8 type: array
9 items:
10 $ref: '#/components/schemas/Plant'
