I'm working with Mandrill's API Messages->Search and am having trouble figuring out how to develop pagination into my client.
I notice that the limit of a result return is 1000 messages returned, and there is a 20 call per minute throttle, but when I have mail campaigns greater than 1000 messages I would like to paginate through the results.

I've noticed I can grab entire result sets through the Exports->Activity method but this method does not provide meta searches, and also does not return readable data for my client.

The next option would be to use Webhooks but clients will be hosted on a range of different servers, some shared, some dedicated, and for large email campaigns with 5000+ sent messages the callbacks might harm server performance.

So the best solution would be to paginate & cache the results of the Messages->Search method.

Hi, have you been in touch with them to see if there is something you can do? – hakunin – 2016-03-01T06:05:54.780
Not since their recent announcement that they will be absorbed into MailChimp for MC users only and the pricing triples.
I'm currently researching alternatives to Mandrill. – atwellpub – 2016-03-01T18:49:31.883
