Query Parameters

Optional query parameters:

$top - The number of results to return. If not given it will return the maximum set by your administrator. ?$top=200 will return the top 200 results.

$skip - The number of results that are not returned in a result set. ?$skip=10 - This will not return the first 10 results.
