Reaching Tickets Past the First Page

Hey guys. So after a long night, I could finally get the API to do what I need to. But I can't seem to access anything past the first 30 tickets.

http://xxx.lighthouseapp.com/projects/xxx/tickets.xml?q=state:open

I've tried adding ?page=1 then 2 then 3, but I can't seem to get anything but the first original 30 tickets. I know there are 65 tickets that match that request. Any suggestions?

   This doesn't work for you? Sending ?page=2 should work fine. It's basically an XML version of the html page. Try it without the .xml extension, and it should match the xml feed.

   Rick -

   Thanks again. I, after wrestling with a case of dyslexia, got it to work with you suggestion. I wasn't encoding the colon for some reason. Idiot me.

   I'm probably going to put together a little 'dummies guide' for the API once I get done with this projects, because I think it would help others who might have had some similar initial glitches.

   THANKS for a great product!

   Rick, is there a way to get all data without making requests page-by-page. If not, is there a way to get the total number of items?

   Thanks.

   +1 on the no-pagination request. Thanks!

   While no-pagination would be nice I can understand why it exists. If you have 100s of tickets then you're going to have an absolutely huge XML file to generate and load. The easy way to work through is:

   if (number of tickets on page == 30) {

    get next page
   

   } else {

    got all tickets
   

   }
