Assets HTTP API pagination and dispatcher caching

Avatar

Level 3

I am working on a component that loads content fragment data with javascript and a request to the assets HTTP API. I need a full result set but the response is paginated as described here:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/extending/assets-api-content-fr...
If I passed ?limit=150, I would get all my results, but then the dispatcher won't cache the response without me setting a global ignoreUrlParams configuration as described here:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-dispatcher/using/configuring/dispatcher-c...

I need a more precise (not global) way to solve this that doesn't prevent dispatcher caching. I've considered writing a custom servlet to return the data, but if there's better, more out-of-the-box approach to this, I'd prefer it.

Suggestions?

Another option is to rewrite the API url on the live page JS code so that it passes the page size as a selector in the URL. Like - /api/assets/cf.150.json. And then you can add a rewrite rule in Apache to remove the selector and add it as a query param before it passes the URL to AEM for processing. However, on AEM author instance you will have to to use regular query param based URL only.
