# API Pagination

Implement scalable pagination strategies for handling large datasets efficiently.

## Pagination Strategies

| Strategy | Best For | Performance |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| Offset/Limit | Small datasets, simple UI | O(n) |
| Cursor | Infinite scroll, real-time | O(1) |
| Keyset | Large datasets | O(1) |

## Offset Pagination

```javascript
app.get('/products', async (req, res) => {
  const page = parseInt(req.query.page) || 1;
  const limit = Math.min(parseInt(req.query.limit) || 20, 100);
  const offset = (page - 1) * limit;

  const [products, total] = await Promise.all([
    Product.find().skip(offset).limit(limit),
    Product.countDocuments()
  ]);

  res.json({
    data: products,
    pagination: {
      page,
