Retrieve data from codeigniter REST API (web service) with pagination - codeigniter

Question

How to retrieve data from web service with pagination ? For now i'm able to show data. But i can't do pagination.
I'm using codeigniter 3.0.6 with curl library. This is what i use to make REST API :
function index_get($limit = 100, $offset = 0) {
$MhswID = $this->get('MhswID');
if ($MhswID == '') {
$mhsw = $this->db->get('mhsw', $limit, $offset)->result();
} else {
$this->db->where('MhswID', $MhswID);
$mhsw = $this->db->get('mhsw', $limit, $offset)->result();
}
$this->response($mhsw, 200);
}
And this is for retrieve data :
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->API="http://admin:1234#localhost/ci3_rest/index.php";
}
// menampilkan data mahasiswa
function index($limit = "", $offset = ""){
$data['mahasiswa'] = json_decode($this->curl->simple_get($this->API.'/mahasiswa'));
$this->load->view('welcome_message',$data);
}

Answer 1

Try to change the function name to index_post
function index_post() {
$limit = $this->post('limit');
$offset = $this->post('offset');
$MhswID = $this->post('MhswID');
if ($MhswID == '') {
$mhsw = $this->db->get('mhsw', $limit, $offset)->result();
} else {
$this->db->where('MhswID', $MhswID);
$mhsw = $this->db->get('mhsw', $limit, $offset)->result();
}
$this->response($mhsw, 200);
}
and change the api url to
function index($limit = 100, $offset = 0){
$data['mahasiswa'] = json_decode($this->curl->simple_get($this->API.'/mahasiswa/index/', array('limit' => $limit, 'offset' => $offset));
$this->load->view('welcome_message',$data);
}
and you can view the response of api by
var_dump($this->curl->simple_get($this->API.'/mahasiswa/index'));
and i think you must pass username and password for REST api in curl. I don't know which library you are using, its must be given in document of REST api library.
