A simple example of how to request paginated data from an API using Python.
A friend of mine had a task that required them to retrieve paginated data from an API with Python, but they had never done anything like that before and were having trouble. I had also never retrieved paginated data from an API before, so this seemed like a good opportunity to both learn something and help out a friend.
