How can a REST API maintain statelessness while allowing clients to paginate through large data sets?
AServer stores client pagination state between requests
BClients send pagination parameters (page, size) with each request
CClients rely on server to remember last page viewed
DServer sends all data at once to avoid pagination
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand stateless pagination

    Clients must send pagination info each time; server does not store state.

  2. Step 2: Identify invalid approaches

    Server storing pagination state or sending all data breaks statelessness or is inefficient.

  3. Final Answer:

    Clients send pagination parameters (page, size) with each request -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Stateless pagination requires client to send parameters [OK]
Quick Trick: Send pagination info in every request to stay stateless [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Storing pagination state on server
  • Assuming server remembers last page
  • Sending all data at once
