tastypie no limit as default behavior

Question

There's a possibility to append ?limit=0 phrase at the end of the API URL to make the query not limit the response. Is there any way to mae it a default behavior, e.g. http://my.api.com/resources/ (without ?limit=0) will return all resources?

Answer 1

As the documentation shows, you can use the limit variable in the resource's Meta class:

class FooResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        limit = 0

Or you can set it for all models with the global settings variable API_LIMIT_PER_PAGE.

Thi is strange, because setting API_LIMIT_PER_PAGE = 0 results in limit set to 1000. So I guess there's an unbreakable limit not to make django process suffocate. Anyway, thanks! – Forte

That is odd! Does the same happen if you set limit to 0 on the resource individually? – Eucken

It's capped by max_limit; see Jonya Murabe's answer. – Dillon

found jonya's answer to work. i did not try without max_limit – Filigree

Answer 2

class FooResource(ModelResource):
    class Meta:
        limit = 0
        max_limit = 0
