# Status types

  • inactive - Inactive licenses
  • active - Active licenses
  • deactivated - Deactivated licenses

# Pagination

Pagination allows you to greater control on the amount of information received.

  • page - The current page (a group of results)
  • limit - The maximum number of results returned for that page

(Note: page starts a 1 and the limit maximum number is 100)

Example:

https://www.appsumo.com/v2/licenses/571c5f3a-42e1-4b25-b209-a46f905462f6?page=2&limit=100

This (assuming they exist) will return the second 100 results (100 - 199)
