Pagination

You can use the limit argument to limit the number of results you want returned from a query, and the offset argument to specify which slice of the results you want returned.

For example, the following query sorts its results in ascending order by the name property, and only returns the first three results:

{
  DemoGraph {
    person (
      order_by : {name : asc},
      limit : 3
    )
       {name,
       gender,
       height
    }
  }
}

Using the offset argument, we can specify the number of results to skip. The following query sorts its results in ascending order by the name property, only returns three results and skips the first result:

{
  DemoGraph {
    person (
      order_by : {name : asc},
      limit : 3,
      offset : 1
    )
       {name,
       gender,
       height
    }
  }
}

Limitations

The following limitations apply to pagination in TigerGraph GraphQL service:

  • When a query uses limit with offset, it must also use the order_by argument.

  • In a multi-hop query, pagination is only supported on root-level queries.
