Exam 200-901 topic 1 question 305 discussion

RFC5005 does reference this https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5005.html so i will go with C

A. RFC 5988 – Web Linking The API implements the Web Linking, specified in the RFC 5988 which defines a mechanism for representing links in HTTP headers. This allows to provide a way to navigate through the data that is being returned by the API. The Link header returned in the API response is using the "next" relation that specifies the link to the next page of the results, this is a standard way of paginating the results, it is used by the API to return only a subset of the total data and provide a way to navigate through the pages. RFC 5890, RFC 5005, and RFC 5446 do not specify any mechanism related to pagination or data restriction in HTTP headers.

Correct Answer A RFC 5988 Web Linking Explanation The Cisco Meraki API is using pagination to limit the number of results returned in a single request The Link header in the HTTP response includes a rel next reference which provides the URL to retrieve the next set of results This behavior follows RFC 5988 Web Linking which defines a standard for indicating relationships between web resources including pagination links rel next rel prev Why not the other options B RFC 5890 Response Constraints This RFC deals with Internationalized Domain Names IDNs not API pagination C RFC 5005 Feed Paging and Archiving This RFC is about pagination in Atom feeds not general API pagination D RFC 5446 Content Limits This RFC is related to media streaming constraints not API responses Since RFC 5988 defines Web Linking including how APIs provide pagination information it is the correct answer

https://developer.cisco.com/meraki/api/pagination/ The Meraki Dashboard API implements the RFC5988 (Web Linking) standard for pagination

I think the correct is A. This is a sentence from the DEVASC training material that you can buy from cisco store to learn online: In the case of Cisco, pagination is a part of the Cisco Web API standards and is implemented with RFC 5988 (EU: aka Web Linking). EXAMPLE - WEBEX ---------------------------------- https://developer.webex.com/docs/basics The Webex APIs implement the RFC5988 (Web Linking) standard for pagination. When requesting a list of resources the response may contain a Link header containing the URLs to the first, next, and previous page.
