Hello! My customer has informed me that they’ve uploaded items in their Square account. However, I’m unable to see a certain number of these items when accessing the Square API site with the provided access tokens. Could someone advise on potential solutions for this discrepancy?
Also what is the use of Cursor in the Parameters?
Thanks in advance!

The discrepancy you’re experiencing might be due to pagination. Square API endpoints that return a list of resources, like ListItems, use pagination to efficiently provide results. This means that the API returns a certain number of items per page, and if there are more items to retrieve, the response includes a cursor. The cursor is a pointer to the next page of the result set.
In your subsequent API request, you should include this cursor to retrieve the next page of items. You continue this process until you receive a response without a cursor, which indicates that you’ve retrieved all pages.
So, if you’re not seeing all the items, it’s possible that you need to make additional requests with the provided cursor to retrieve subsequent pages of items.
Regarding your question about the cursor parameter, it’s used for paginating results. When the result set is large and is divided into pages, the cursor points to the start of the next page. By passing the cursor in subsequent requests, you can retrieve the next page of results.
