Get paginated query results with the Wowza Video REST API

Learn how to get paginated results from REST API queries made in the Wowza Video™ service.

About paginated results

The Wowza Video REST API allows you to retrieve a paginated view of results from any GET request made to the following endpoints:

/assets
/live_streams
/players
/recordings
/schedules
/stream_sources
/stream_targets
/transcoders
/vod_streams

You can use the following sample request, making sure to:

Set the page and per_page query parameters to the page of the results that should be displayed and how many records should be included in a page.
