How do I get older/more records with the REST API?

I work for HP. We have a gazillion product forums. I wanted to harvest a bunch of data with a call like this:   http://h30499.www3.hp.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/bsc-412/posts/recent?page_size=100...

If you put your logic in a loop like this, you can make y as large as you want. It will automatically end the loop when you run out of data.

 

<#list 1..3 as y>
<#assign username = restadmin("/users?page_size=1000&page=${y}") />

....

</#list>

 

This may not be the optimal way to do this. I'm very new at this, but it works.
