Downloading data within range of dates

[zmonteith]

When I try to download seagrass data between dates (ie . sgEndpoint = sprintf("%s/%s", client$api_root, "eims/views/output/mg_seagrass_habitat?date>=2016-01-01&date<2019-01-01") ), only a subset of the data (20 of 667 records) is loaded.

If instead I try to load the last 1000 records (ie. sgEndpoint = sprintf("%s/%s", client$api_root, "eims/views/output/mg_seagrass_habitat?limit=1000")), all the records work.

Am I misunderstanding how to use this function, or is this a bug?

Thanks!

Hi Zach, this is the intended behaviour. The default limit is 20 to prevent users from accidentally returning a huge number of results from their query. It's in the tl;dr of the simplified API documentation here, or you can read the full query docs here. Let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Awesome thanks Finn. I must have missed that, but I see it now!
