Confluence Server - Pagination not working for group endpoint.

[navendu gupta]

GET /rest/group

Get a paginated collection of user groups

With start=0, i get 9 groups.

With start=100, i still get 9 groups.

Any insights would be highly appreciated.

Hi navendu, 

It sounds like you might have the "limit" parameter when using the Confluence API to query for your Groups, however I'd need a bit more information about what you're seeing:

• What the complete API Call you're running?
• Are you running it CLI or through a tool?
• How many groups are in Confluence?
• Is there any difference in the Groups Returned when you run start=0 and start=100, or are they all the same Groups?
• What version of Confluence are you running?

Regards,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the quick reply.

What the complete API Call you're running?

url = "%s/rest/api/group?start=%s&limit=100" % (base_url, start)

Are you running it CLI or through a tool?

via python tool

Is there any difference in the Groups Returned when you run start=0 and start=100, or are they all the same Groups?

Same set of groups is returned.

What version of Confluence are you running?

1000.0.0-0aa1a5a4a7a

Hi Navendu, 

Thanks for the info; since it looks like you're on our Cloud Platform, it helped me to find the following Bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-62418

We're tracking an issue with the Cloud API when returning groups where it's ignoring the specified start query parameter and return the list from the start (index = 0). 

I don't have an ETA or a workaround to this issue however I do see that it has been acknowledged by our Confluence Dev Team.  To receive updates on this Bug, I do ask that you include yourself as a Watcher and include any feedback for our Developers letting them know how this impacts you and your team. 

If you have any other questions about this request, please let me know. 

Regards,
Shawn
