How to complete the challenge GET /todos (200) ?_limit

How to issue a GET request on a top level entity endpoint and use pagination to limit the returned todos.

GET /todos (200) ?_limit

Issue a GET request on the /todos end point with a pagination limit to retrieve up to 8 todos.

• _limit controls the maximum number of todos returned
• the maximum supported _limit value is 20
• this challenge is passed by requesting up to 8 todos and receiving a 200 response
• if your current session has fewer than 8 todos, the response will contain fewer todos

Basic Instructions

• Issue a GET request to end point "/todos"
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos
• The request should have an X-CHALLENGER header to track challenge completion
• Add _limit=8 as a URL parameter:
  • https://apichallenges.eviltester.com/todos?_limit=8
• The response status code should be 200 because the request is accepted
• Check that the response body contains no more than 8 todos
