Pagination on the OneNote Graph API - Missing @odata.nextLink

Question

Hi guys, I'm working with Onenote through Graph API and today I saw the @odata.nextLink was missing when using the $top to limit the result. Does anybody know if this change was planned or if this is a bug in Onenote API :(.

Hello Hieu Phan Trung,

Thanks for reaching out!

It is an expected behavior that for MS Graph OneNote API @odata.nextLink is not expected if $top is being used. As it is a client-side paging you should use $skip as needed. Please refer this link for more details about pagination Paging Microsoft Graph data in your app - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn

• • To get @odata.nextLink you can refer to the below steps:
    • To get the first top n results in the response from Graph API, please execute the Graph API in below format.
    • https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/onenote/notebooks?$top=n.
  • To get top 3 results in the response the Graph call will be https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/onenote/notebooks?$top=3.
• Now to get the next set of results please use the $skip parameter along with $top.
  • $skip-Indexes into a result set.$top-Sets the page size of results.https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/onenote/notebooks?$skip=3&$top=3.
  • The above Graph call will give the results from count 4 to 6 because we use the skip=3 and top=3.
  • Similarly, to get the next set of 3 results https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user-id}/onenote/notebooks?$skip=7&$top=3.
  • This Graph call will return the results from 7 to 9. Please follow the process till last count.

Hope this helps.
