# Fivetran list endpoints paginate with cursor plus next_cursor, not offset limit

## TL;DR

On every Fivetran list endpoint, start with no cursor, then pass cursor=[next_cursor] from each response until next_cursor is absent. Never pass offset expecting it to page. Write your list helper as a generator that yields items across pages and stop only when next_cursor is empty; log the page count so a missing-page bug is visible.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

**When not to use this skill:** unrelated tasks. It covers only the procedure above.

## Compatibility

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

## Details

Set limit explicitly (up to 1000) to reduce page counts on large accounts.

Context: Official Fivetran docs (REST API Pagination): documents that Fivetran uses cursor-based pagination. Each collection endpoint supports a cursor query parameter (omit it for the first page) and a limit parameter (1 to 1000 records per page, default 100). The response carries the items plus next_cursor, which is the value to pass as cursor for the next page. When next_cursor is missing, there are no more items. Agents that assume offset/limit pagination silently fetch only the first page, which corrupts any inventory or billing reconciliation built on the API.
