Surveymonkey API: per_page defaults and max

We are calling the /contacts API for SurveyMonkey. Docs are here. We need to get all active contacts, and I'm wondering about the paging feature. If we don't specify a per_page parameter, will we truly get all active contacts? Or will we get the first page only? There is no default listed for per_page, unfortunately, so I don't know how it will act.

A quick follow-up to this is wondering if there is a max for this field. If there is a default per_page, and I need to mess with paging, what is the max I can set per_page to?

We currently don't have a ton of contacts so it's tough to test the defaults/max.

By default, all list endpoints unless specified otherwise can accept a max page size of 1000 resources as specified under Request and Response Limits. Perhaps that should (also?) be under Pagination. Some bulk endpoints for example, have a max page size of 100.

I don't see in the docs what the page size is by default, but it is 50. So if you don't specify the number of resources to return, you will get up to 50 back.
