Add Explicit Pagination in get requests

Pavel Fedotov

My application takes too much time parsing the data from blockscout

Pagination would improve the speeds for requests such as transactions

Thanks for the feedback Pavel Fedotov!

Could you please describe the case you are trying to solve? We have pointer-based pagination in our handles, this makes the requests more efficient and fast. So, what is the use-case and what problems do you face with the current pagination system?

Nikita Savik absolutely, I am trying to build an app that displays smart contract data such as balance and transactions in more details than what is displayed usually for op governance.
For example, transactions could be queried 
curl -X 'GET' 'https://optimism.blockscout.com/api/v2/addresses/0x40F320CD3Cd616E59599568c4eA011E2eE49a175/transactions' -H 'accept: application/json'
But it outputs too much data

Pavel Fedotov: Got it, we have the default of 50 transactions per page, and no way to change this (yet).

Thanks again for the proposal, we will put it on the roadmap and prioritize according the votes here
