Reasons for Zendesk's Switch to Cursor-Based Pagination
Why is Zendesk switching to cursor-based pagination?
Zendesk is transitioning to cursor-based pagination to enhance large-scale API usage and improve performance. This change aims to reduce the high response times and infrastructure strain caused by offset-based pagination, especially with high page offsets. Cursor-based pagination offers faster performance and reduces the risk of service outages, making it a more efficient option for handling large datasets.
