Hi Gursimrat,

 

not sure what your specific requirements are but you can easily find out your "boundaries" by determining the total number of threads for that board ( threads/count ) and then divide that by the number of threads you want to show for each page. That will give you the maximum number of pages (be careful of rounding) . Then you can simply use the page_size and page parameters of the threads call to pick a particular page according to your pagination logic.

 

Hope this will help you in getting things started
