When calling SharePoint REST OData api, what is the biggest value allowed by $top?

Question

I am making calls to get all sub-sites of a site collection using:

${siteCollectionUrl}/_api/site/rootWeb/webinfos

But there are 1000's of them. So I need to get them in pages using the $top and $skip parameters.

For example here would be the 5th page of 100 row pages:

${siteCollectionUrl}/_api/site/rootWeb/webinfos?$top=100&$skip=500

What is the biggest value I can use as $top? Is the limit 500? Is that limit configurable?

Answer 1

I think its limit is 5000. If you want to have more than that you can utilize batching or make multiple calls or paging.
