Hi everyone!

First of all, let me apologise, because of my poor english.

Let’s get to the point, the problem is that when I want to retrieve all the contacts the process never ends because “has-more” is “always” “true” and de “vidOffset” repeats itself in a period and starts again.

I end up with a final huge file, full of repeated contacts. ¿Does anyone know what is hapening?. I forward the cycle is ok.

Thanks in advance.

Hi again:

I solved de problem, the issue was that the API accept only 10 request per seconds and the variables got lost.

You can see the limit here:
