Hi,

we where using the hubspot API to fetch all the contact, we were using the pagination system who will add the after and link value,

but since this morning I can get the 2 first pages but next the pagination seems to be wrong the object return by the API is :

`paging: { next: { after: '100' } }`

instead of :

```lia-code-sample
paging: { next: { after: 'MTY0MDQxOTEx', link: 

'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/owners?after=MTY0MDQxOTEx' }

```

who break or loop .

we use this endpoint :

‘[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies/search](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies/search)’

is this something expected or it’s a bug ?

Thanks,

@nturcksin

This is expected. I am confused by your code. Looks like you are referencing two different endpoints.

In your post body request for the search the crm API, you will include the after: 100 or whatever is returned to you to get the next set of results. An example would look like this:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "filterGroups": [
 {
 "filters": [
 {
 "value": "larry",
 "propertyName": "firstname",
 "operator": "EQ"
 }
 ]
 }
 ],
 "limit": 1,
 "after": "1"
}

```

I did notice that the docs display it a different way in the example. I will see about getting that corrected!

I believe some of the confusion comes in the documentation located here:  
[CRM API | Companies (hubspot.com)](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/companies)

The example gives the “after” & “link”:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "total": 0,
 "results": [
...
],
 "paging": {
 "next": {
 "after": "NTI1Cg%3D%3D",
 "link": "?after=NTI1Cg%3D%3D"
 }
 }
}

```

instead of the actual “after”: 10.  
That can lead to some confusion if you don’t know to add “after” as a parameter in the body.
