How often do the Nintex Workflow API update the information about instances? I am trying to query all instances from a specific period but comparing the web page I got a smaller number of instances on the query.
Page 1 / 1
Hi
The API reads from the exact same data as the UI.
The reason why you may be seeing different numbers may be due to a couple of things.
Firstly, the API defaults to returning the first 30 results, so if you have more results than this, they will be truncated. To receive more than 30 results, set the pageSize query parameter. Please note that the maximum page size is 100 results.
If you have more results than what was returned, a skiptoken is provided in the response.
You can use the $skiptoken parameter in additional API calls to return the next page of results. You keep doing this until a skiptoken is no longer returned, which means there are no more results.
Hi Simon,
Thank you for your response, I was reading about the skiptoken and I am testing that too, however when I query the most recent instances I am not getting all of them, I am not sure if it is too early to query them or if the permissions are the problem.
Hi
As previously advised, what the API retrieves and what is shown in the UI is the same data.
Yes, it could be a permissions issue.
You need to use a Service App and not a Personal Access Token to have the correct permissions to query this API endpoint.
