Continuation Token
A continuation token is a method for a consumer of webservice to request additional payloads of a batch when the service implements a batching strategy. Cabman Cloud Platform implements such a strategy.
When the response on a GET request exceeds a certain amount of records (e.g 200) the response is batched. The consumer can detect if a response is batched by searching for the continuation token. This is an URI that's always the last object in the payload. The format of the token depends on the used wire format. There is an example of the JSON variant below.
],
"odata.nextLink": "VehiclesSummary?$skiptoken=17811"
}
To request the next batch, paste the relative URI portion in odata.nextLink to the service URI and issue a GET. In our Example this will be /VehiclesSummary?$skiptoken=17811
Repeat this process until there is no more continuation token inside the payload.
