Limiting Results

Before you begin this section, you should have completed Querying Basics or have a good understanding of basic Fluree queries.

Setting Limits

Let's say we have a ledger with thousands of movies in it. We might not want to see every single movie when we issue a query. We can limit the number of results that are returned by simply adding a key, "limit" to our query. The value of that key should be the number of subjects we do want to see.

For example, to select 100 movies:

{
    "select": ["*"],
    "from": "movie",
    "limit": 100
}

Select 50 Actors

Select 50 actors from the `actor` collection.
