How to all items data in Podio API

Question

I am trying to get all items data using the Offset parameter. I have around 4500 numbers of data. Using PHP cURL code to retrieve all items (REST API).

But how do I use the offset parameter along with maximum limit of 500?

You should use the Podio PHP client library instead of doing everything from scratch. It'll save you a lot of work: http://podio.github.io/podio-php/

PodioItem::filter() is the method you'd use. To set both limit and offset:

$items = PodioItem::filter(123, array('limit' => 500, 'offset' => 0);

Once you've gotten the first set of items you can use the filtered property to see how many items there are in total:

$items = PodioItem::filter(123, array('limit' => 500, 'offset' => 0);
print $items->filtered;

It's just a matter of fetching items in 500 item chunks until you've gotten all of them.
