There seems to be a limit of 10 items when querying items on AGO. I would like to return all items in an organization. Here is the code I was using:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS("https://organization.maps.arcgis.com", "username", "password")
gis.content.search(query="")

Thank you for any assistance you may provide. Thank you for everything and have a delightful day.

Sincerely,

Joe Guzi

Hey Joe - The API reference for the content here defines the max_items parameter that provides control to the number of results returned.  By default, the max_items parameter returns 10 items. You can set that parameter to a desired number:

search_results = a_gis.content.search(query="*", max_items=50)

I don't believe there is a limit to the number you can enter for that parameter.

jyaist-esristaff‌ Thank you so much. The documentation you referenced was way more useful than the documentation I was looking at. This was the nudge I needed. Thanks again!
