I am developing my first ASP.NET MVC project and also I am writing my first Web API. The web page (a view with the Javascript code) that consumes the Web API displays "n" records at a time and, as the user scrolls and reaches the end of the browser window, the Web API is called again to get and display more records from a database. Of course, the Web API needs to know which set of records to get and I suppose that I need to call the Web API and send a parameter to specify which group of records to retrieve. For example:
- api/GetRecords/0: retrieves records 1 to 10
- api/GetRecords/1: retrieves records 11 to 20
- api/GetRecords/2: retrieves records 21 to 30
And so on.
What I would like to do is to send such a parameter in some other way so users do not see the value.
I will very much appreciate about how to achieve my goal.
Respectfully,
Jorge Maldonado
