Replies for: you are right, I actually somehow skipped the last url assignment. One possible improvement then, would be to fetch headers once, use URLSearchPara...

Thanks for the suggestion! Your solution would work perfectly :)

I don't think that my solution is valid for all scenarios but might be good sometimes. For example:

  • We want to fetch pages until we met some condition (for example, search the last 10 commits that says "refactor" in the text) where we don't want to fetch all pages
  • The API doesn't return the "last" page in the header
