## Pagination
By default all list endpoints are paginated, which means only a certain number of results is returned per request.
To get another page of the results, you have to use the `page` query parameter, which contains the page number you want to get (e.g. `/api/categoues/?page=2`).
When using JSONLD, the links to the next page are also included in the `hydra:view` property of the response.
To change the size of the pages (the number of items in a single page) use the `itemsPerPage` query parameter (e.g. `/api/categoues/?itemsPerPage=50`).
See [API Platform docs](https://api-platform.com/docs/core/pagination) for more infos.
## Property filter
Sometimes you only want to get a subset of the properties of an entity, for example when you only need the name of a part, but not all the other properties.
You can achieve this using the `properties[]` query parameter with the name of the field you want to get. You can use this parameter multiple times to get multiple fields.
For example if you only want to get the name and the description of a part, you can use `/api/parts/123?properties[]=name&properties[]=description`.
It is also possible to use this filters on list endpoints (get collection), to only get a subset of the properties of all entities in the collection.
See [API Platform docs](https://api-platform.com/docs/core/filters/#property-filter) for more infos.
