SonarQube API Issue search is only returning 100 results

Utilizing SonarQube 5.1, I have been attempting to utilize the API search feature to gather all of the issues pertaining to my current project to display on a radiator. On the Web interface, SonarQube indicates there are 71 major issues and 161 minor issues.

Using this search string https://sonarqube.url.com/api/issues/search?projectKeys=myproject'skey

I get back a response with exactly 100 results. When I process those results for only OPEN items, I get back a total of 55 issues. 36 major, 19 minor.

This is being achieved through a Powershell script that authenticates to the SonarQube server and passes in the query, then deserializes the response into an array I can process. (Counting major/minor issues)

With the background out of the way, the meat of my question is: Does anyone know why the responses I am receiving are locked at 100? In my research I saw others indicating a response to an issue search would be capped at 500 due to an outstanding bug. However the expected number of issues I am looking for is far below that number. The API's instructions indicate that it would return the first 10,000 issues. Is there a server side setting that restricts the output it will return to a search query?

Thanks in advance,

The web service docs show that 100 is the default value of the ps parameter. You can set the value higher, but it will still max out.

You might have noticed a "paging" element in the JSON response. You can use it to calculate how many pages of results there are and loop through them using the p parameter to specify page number.
