Question

Skip value not taken into consideration for Cloud Apps API

Dev Parmar 20

Hi Team,
I am using POST endpoint for getting all the alerts that are present in defender for cloud apps. In our instance we have roughly around 6600 alerts and if I increase the skip value to 9000, the API is duplicating the records of last page and is not taking the skip value into consideration. Can anyone please help us on this? Below is URL and request body that I am using to make API call.

URL - https://<instance>.portal.cloudappsecurity.com/api/v1/alerts

Request Body -

{
    "filters": {
        "date": {
            "range": {
                "start": 1715061904343,
                "end": 1746597396008
            }
        }
    },
    "skip": 9000,
    "limit": 100
}

Hello @dev parmar ,
Based on my research the issue you are encountering might be because the backend may not support deep pagination reliably using skip alone. Suggested work arounds for this are to try using Paginating in smaller chunks, you can also try using Graph Api Instead to fetch the alerts then use the **nextLink **Instead of skip for Pagination. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/security-list-alerts_v2?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

If this doesn't work, please get in touch with support. Refer to the below link to contact support: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-cloud-apps/support-and-ts#open-a-service-request
