Thread:Project:Support desk/Api request - more than 5000 category members - how?/reply

What do you mean by It works with AWB? Do you mean AWB is able to get a list with more than 5000 category members with a single request? I highly doubt that. All api modules that return lists of information have a limit, and you can't go past that limit. But that doesn't mean that you can't get the information that's outside of that limit.

When there are more items returned than the limit, the response returns a continue parameter. You need to call the api again with the same parameters and add that parameter in your request, and you'll get the remaining information. For categorymembers, the "continue" parameter will be cmcontinue.
