# Pagination

Hygraph supports various arguments for paginating content entries.

## Paginate query results

Hygraph supports various arguments for paginating content entries:

| Argument | Type     | Definition                              |
| -------- | -------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `first`  | `Int`    | Seek forwards from start of result set. |
| `last`   | `Int`    | Seek backwards from end of result set.  |
| `skip`   | `Int`    | Skip result set by given amount.        |
| `before` | `String` | Seek backwards before specific ID.      |
| `after`  | `String` | Seeks forwards after specific ID.       |

  **first**

```graphql
{
  posts(first: 6) {
    id
  }
}
```

  
  **last**

```graphql
{
  posts(last: 6) {
    id
  }
}
```

  
  **skip**

```graphql
{
  posts(first: 6, skip: 6) {
    id
  }
}
```

  
  **before**

```graphql
{
  posts(last: 6, before: "...") {
    id
  }
}
```

  
  **after**

```graphql
{
  posts(first: 6, after: "...") {
    id
  }
}
```


**Warning:**
You cannot combine `first` with `before`, or `last` with `after`.

**Note:**
The default result size of results returned by queries fetching multiple entries is `10`. You can provide a maximum of `100` to the `first`, or `last` arguments.

The limit of 10/100 applies to projects created after 14-06-2022. Projects created before that date have a limit of 100/1000.

## Pagination limits

To fetch the pagination limits of your projects, you need to access the [API Playground](https://hygraph.com/docs/api-reference/basics/api-playground) section of your Hygraph project, select `Management API` from the `Environment` dropdown located at the top of the screen, and run the following query:

```graphql
{
  viewer {
    project(id: "<PROJECTID>") {
      defaultPaginationSize
      maxPaginationSize
    }
  }
}
```

## Nested pagination

You can also use `first`, `last`, `skip`, `before`, and `after` arguments with any nested relations. For example, let's imagine our post has comments:

```graphql
{
  posts {
    id
    comments(first: 6, skip: 6) {
      id
      createdAt
    }
  }
}
```

## Relay cursor connections

Hygraph follows the Relay cursor connection specification. Each of your project models also contain a connection type, automatically managed by Hygraph.

The example below shows us how we can query for the first `3` posts, `after` the `cursor` (ID) `abc`. We can also query `pageInfo` to check whether there are more pages using `hasNextPage`.

The [`PageInfo`](https://hygraph.com/docs/api-reference/schema/system-fields#pageinfo) is useful when paginating.

```graphql
{
  postsConnection(first: 3, after: "abc") {
    edges {
      cursor
      node {
        id
        title
      }
    }
    pageInfo {
      hasNextPage
      hasPreviousPage
      startCursor
      endCursor
      pageSize
    }
  }
}
```
