Amazon API Gateway - Get next set of results from dynamodb

everyone

I'm using Amazons API Gateway as a proxy for Dynamo DB. I've read through the documentation but I can't seem to find a lot of information about how to get the next set of items in a collection.

The documentation says that api gateway only returns 25 items at a time. I see under the api gateway documentation that it has a "next" call but I'm not sure how to use it.

For example, if i have an api such as apiurl.com/videos/1 which references to the videos for a specified user ID how do i get the next set of videos in the collection.

This is my first time building an api or implementing a backend so it's a little confusing.

Thanks ahead of time!

Please review this detailed blog post which answers your exact question: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-amazon-api-gateway-as-a-proxy-for-dynamodb/

Regarding the 25 item/request limit - this limit is imposed on items returned from API Gateway's management APIs. The limits imposed on APIs that you run on API Gateway itself (like your DynamoDB proxy API) have a separate set of limits. See this document for more details on both classes of limits. Additionally, DynamoDB itself will have limits on its APIs, such as 100 items per BatchGetItem and 1 MB per Query or Scan, that you will also have to take into consideration.
