Auto Pagination
This client supports auto-pagination for the paginated endpoints.
If you'd like to use auto-pagination, you can call the corresponding auto pagination versions of the functions.
An example call without auto pagination:
const searchResult = await client.showsApi.searchShowsByFilters(({
country: "us",
catalogs: ["netflix"],
genres: ["action"],
showType: streamingAvailability.ShowType.Movie,
orderBy: "popularity_1year",
}));
An example call with auto pagination that fetches at most 3 pages:
const shows = client.showsApi.searchShowsByFiltersWithAutoPagination({
country: "us",
catalogs: ["netflix"],
genres: ["action"],
showType: streamingAvailability.ShowType.Movie,
orderBy: "popularity_1year",
}, 3)
Then you can iterate over the results in the following way:
for await (const show of shows) {
// Do something with the show
}
