resultRecordCount is being ignored when using python to query a hosted feature layer's REST API

Hi,

I am querying the REST API of a hosted feature layer using a Notebook within ArcPro 3.1.0. The query without any pagination returns 200 records.

If I add resultOffset of 0 and resultRecordCount of 25. The resultRecordCount seems to be ignored and all 200 records are returned.

If I set the resultOffset to 25 I get 175 results. Again ignoring the resultRecordCount but returning results from the offset position.

If I use the REST API web page instead and query using resultOffset of 0 and resultRecordCount of 25 it works and returns 25 records as expected.

Has anyone else ran into this issue?

Any suggestions?

I figured it out myself.

an extra parameter is needed
return_all_records

and needs to be set to false or the resultRecordCount will be ignored

Nice one! I read the API Reference page at few times and missed the highlighted line every time!

That's there because I escalated the issue and asked them to add it to the documentation
