Can deltaLink have again a nextLink if modified applications(resources) are more than few hundred.

Question

Can deltaLink have again a nextLink if modified applications(resources) are more than few hundred.

Abhinav Gupta 51

I am using graph API delta functionality to fetch applications data v1.0/applications/delta.

I have a question, that if I have saved this deltaLink and from after first run, I am using this deltaLink to get only modified applications.

Then is it possible that if number of apps modified is quite large, then my deltaLink response can again have a nextLink ? and I will have to call nextLink unless I get a deltaLink again ?

Hi, dear @Abhinav Gupta

If you have a large number of modified application resources, it also will not display all hundreds or thousands of modified objects on the same page. In fact, it will return a nextLink first. This nextLink actually functions as a paging until all your data is returned, and you will receive a deltaLink to end the response. reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/delta-query-overview#use-delta-query-to-track-changes-in-a-resource-collection

Thank you @CarlZhao-MSFT .
In case my deltaLink will have many objects which were modified, how it takes care of pagination ? does it shows all hundreds/thousands modified objects in same response ?
