Rest API - Pagination Patterns

Given a REST API endpoint /api/users?page=3&limit=5, which users will be returned if the dataset is ordered by ID starting at 1?

AUsers with IDs 11 to 15

BUsers with IDs 6 to 10

CUsers with IDs 16 to 20

DUsers with IDs 1 to 5

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate start index for page 3
Each page has 5 users. Page 1: IDs 1-5, Page 2: IDs 6-10, so Page 3 starts at ID 11.
Step 2: Determine range of IDs for page 3
Page 3 includes IDs 11 to 15 (5 users).
Final Answer:
Users with IDs 11 to 15 -> Option A
Quick Check:
Page 3 with limit 5 = IDs 11-15 [OK]

Quick Trick: Page number times limit minus limit plus one = start ID [OK]
