### Pagination
Some API endpoints use a modified cursor pagination. This is to avaoid uncessary full db scans and clientside bloat when paginating data for tables.
The pagination expects the following query string:
- `?per_page=` (int) - No. of items to return. Has a hard limit of 100
- `?forward=` (boolean) - If true, scrolls forward else backwards
- `?cursor=` (id:int) - Used with the forward query. If pagination forwards, pass in the id of the last result i.e. `results[length(results) - 1]`. If paginating backwards pass the id of the first element of the current result set i.e. `results[0]`.
