Kaminari link_to_next_page and link_to_previous_page from a service client

Question

I have a service that uses kaminari for pagination. The index controller action for the service looks like this.

respond_to :json, xml
def index
  if params[:query].present?
    @search = Product.search_for(params[:query], load: true)
  else
    @search = Product.all
  end

  @products = Kaminari.paginate_array(@search).page(params[:page]).per(20)
end

i am using rabl to create json views. The index.rabl looks like this:

collection @products => :products
  attributes :title, :price, :category_id

I also have a client that consumes the service; part of the client's controller action that consumes the service looks like this:

def index
  ## other code ##
  response = HTTParty.get("http://localhost:3000/api/v1/products.json")
  ## other code ##
end

I want pagination done on the server side so i have not installed kaminari on the client. I can choose which page i want by adding page parameter on the url like this:

 response = HTTParty.get("http://localhost:3000/api/v1/products.json?page=3")

and it works. What can i do on either the service side or the client to achieve next page and previous page without installing kaminari on the client.
