Can anyone confirm that they are able to page against a SharePoint Online List Items query? Either I'm not understanding how this query is supposed to work or it just doesn't work. 

tenant.sharepoint.com/conversations/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Posts')/items?$skiptoken=Paged=TRUE&P_ID=2

I'm leveraging the documentation here but when using Postman, all items are returned in the same query response. For example, according to the $skiptoken P_ID=2 above, I'm expecting a response without item ID 1. However, I still get ID 1, 2, and 3 in the response.

  • If you're not opposed to using ListData.svc, this still works in Online sjrb.sharepoint.com/sites/welcome/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/… – Michael Colbs Jun 13 '17 at 23:06
  • Interesting, that does work and will probably move forward with this. Thanks! However, I'm still curious to see if anyone's been able to use the REST API to do the same. – Henry Ong Jun 13 '17 at 23:22
  • You're supposed to be able to add the same "top" query string, but it doesn't work for me either – Michael Colbs Jun 13 '17 at 23:32
  • Hmm looks like I was missing out on some URI encoding. This works: tenant.sharepoint.com/conversations/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Posts')/items?%24skiptoken=Paged%3DTRUE%26p_ID%3D1&%24top=5 – Henry Ong Jun 13 '17 at 23:44
  • there ya go, nice solution! – Michael Colbs Jun 14 '17 at 15:25

Needed URI encoding on the $shiptoken parameters - related to this post: Paging using REST/OData with SP 2013

  • Note: "shiptoken" should be "skiptoken." I don't have enough rep to make a 1 character change ;-) – Matt Jun 13 '18 at 20:20
