How to get return more than 500 contacts in v3 API

[ChrisE3168]

I am working with the V3 api get contacts.  It says that it will return a max of 500 contacts.  How do I get the rest of our contacts?  The export contacts does not work since it does not include the contact_id that is required to work with the contacts.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support.

Our API returns results in a paginated output. The response will include a URL that you then make another call to in order to get the next page of data. You would do this until you no longer get a "next" url. See this page in our documentation for details: https://v3.developer.constantcontact.com/api_guide/v3_technical_overview.html#paginated-output

Please let us know if you have any other questions!
