Offset
Parameter name: offset
Aliases: o, s, start, start_at
Default: 0
Maximum: 10,000
Values: integers 0 -> ..
Description: The results number at which to start returning records from.
Example: The following query returns results for the phrase airport parking, starting from the 10th result:
http://api.keyworddiscovery.com/query.php?query=airport+parking&offset=10
To obtain 10,000 results, the offset parameter must be used. eg.
To obtain the first 1000 results for the query "airport":
http://api.keyworddiscovery.com/query.php?query=airport&offset=0&limit=1000
To obtain the next 1000 results, use the offset variable to specify the starting point of 1000:
http://api.keyworddiscovery.com/query.php?query=airport&offset=1000&limit=1000
To obtain the next 1000 results, again increment the offset parameter by 1000:
http://api.keyworddiscovery.com/query.php?query=airport&offset=2000&limit=1000
Etc.
