Is the ID in your script hard-coded to 500000 (and, on a tangent, curious why you have that constraint)?

    Hi MattV! We have 2 separate jobs that ingest the the member list of this group in our database. We figured out we can split them in half by the median id. The API connection fails at some point if we try to ingest all members in one go (I think there are 30k+ members). 

    I think I solved this however. I have to order by id desc/asc, then after receiving the cursor,  remove the greater than/less than comparison when using the cursor argument. Cursor argument and the id argument seem to be incompatible.
