Links of "marker-based paging" and "offset-based paging" at https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-a-folders-items are broken.
I want to use marker-based paging because it is recommended officialy but I can't find the documentation about it.
What string should we set to the query parameter "marker"?

 

Best regards

 The documentation around marker-based paging is located at https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference/#section-marker-based-paging — I'll also let the people who maintain the docs know that those links are broken.

 

When you make the first API call to get the first page, you don't have to send the `marker` parameter (but you do need to send the `usemarker` parameter for folder items specifically).  On subsequent calls, you should take the value returned in the `next_marker` field of the previous API response and send it in the `marker` query parameter.

Thank you for your reply.

I can understand marker based paging.
I will try it.
