Call entire User Information List from REST api

Question

I'm using a REST api to get data from the User Information List using

    https://servername/sitename/_api/Web/SiteUserInfoList/items

This works great but the list stops after 121 entries - ending with a line such as

    <link rel="next" href="https://servername/sitename/_api/Web/SiteUserInfoList/items?%24skiptoken=Paged%3dTRUE%26p_ID%3d2102" /> 

How should I go about calling the entire list?

Answer 1

Some options to do this:

1. Use Listdata.svc:
   http://SiteURL/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/UserInformationList. This returns all the items.
2. Use $top=5000:
   http://SiteURL/_api/Web/SiteUserInfoList/items?$top=5000. This will return all items within the threshold limit.
3. Use GetItems
   This is a POST request where you can use an empty CAML query to return all the items. Please note that JSON format is default for this and it won't return in XML.
   
   Request would be like below:
   
   URL:
   http://SiteURL/_api/Web/lists/getbytitle('User Information List')/getitems
   
   Headers:
   Accept: application/json; odata=verbose X-RequestDigest: RequestDigest Content-Type: application/json; odata=verbose
   CAML query:
   { "query" : {"__metadata": {"type": "SP.CamlQuery" } , "ViewXml": "<View><Query></Query></View>" } }

Answer 2

header must be included

Accept: application/json; odata=verbose
Content-Type: application/json
