# Pagination and Filtering
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-processing-core/documentation/api-basics-section/pagination-filtering/index.md

Some endpoints return large data sets. To control the number of records returned at a time, the following query parameters are used:

* `limit` -- To define the number of records to which you want the response to be limited. The default value is 10.
* `offset` -- To define the record number from which to begin returning records. The default value is 0, which means starting from the first row.

In response, the CMS will return:

* `limit` -- Is defined in the request.
* `offset` -- Is defined in the request.
* `count` -- The number of records that are in the response.
* `total` -- The total number of records that can be retrieved meeting the conditions of the request.

It is recommended that you explicitly set the limit parameter to understand the number of results per page.
Tip: Refer to [API reference](https://developer.mastercard.com/mastercard-processing-core/documentation/api-reference/index.md) to verify which operations support pagination.
