A parks department sync pulls Webex space memberships where the response only exposes a next URL—no last page index. A developer fires pages 1 through 50 in parallel to “go faster.” What is the correct construction approach?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the map only shows the next street sign, you cannot teleport to house number 50. Follow next one hop at a time. Parallel page sprays work only when the last index is known and allowed—otherwise you earn a 429.
Full Explanation
Follow-next pagination requires sequential walking because each next URL (or cursor) depends on the prior response. Parallel fetches of guessed offsets only work when N is known and the API permits concurrent range reads. Spraying invented pages against an unknown last index is how consumers trigger rate limits and incomplete or duplicate membership data.
