Hello , I have read about the limit of 200 users when using GET request to list users. We have around 9000 user accounts, how can i modify the below curl command to get me every account ?

`curl -v -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}" "https://${domain}/api/v1/users?" > /tmp/okta_dump.txt`

I did read about the Pagination but couldn’t understand how to use pagination in the above curl command .  
As a workaround, i tried running this way, but it errors our saying “Request not valid”. I don’t know what is wrong with the syntax. Looks OK to me and i copied this from the Documentation.

```auto
curl -v -X GET \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: SSWS ${api_token}" \
"https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/users?filter=status+eq+\"ACTIVE\""

```

Can someone pls assist ?

Thanks a lot.

Here’s a basic guide about pagination that walks you through how it works: [Pagination Overview | Okta Help Center](https://support.okta.com/help/s/article/Pagination-Overview?language=en_US)

To summarize: make your GET to /api/v1/users to receive the first 200 users (this is the max we will return as [per the API reference](https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/users/#request-parameters-3)). In the response from Okta, you will receive a link header with `rel="next"`. You will then make your next request to _that_ URL to get the _next_ 200 users. Continue to do so until you receive all your users (and there is no `rel="next"` coming back from Okta).

If you are a developer and are familiar with one of the languages we have a management SDK/library for, you can look to use these SDKs instead, as they are designed to handle the pagination for you. We offer MGMT SDKs for [.NET](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-dotnet), [Golang](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-golang), [Java](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-java), [Node](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-nodejs), [PHP](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-php), and [Python](https://github.com/okta/okta-sdk-python).
