How to limit my api result with edamam API - kotlin

I am trying to make a call to the edamam API to just get 1 item, right now when I call it I get a lot of results which I don't need, is there a query I can use to limit the results?
I have tried to put maxResults at the end but id doesn't change my response
https://api.edamam.com/api/food-database/v2/parser?session=40&app_id=$id&app_key=$appKey&ingr=rice&maxResults=1

The official documentation does not name any means to actively influence the result set / page size of the result.
There is an OpenAPI specification available as well.
There seems to be basic support for pagination, however that is solely based on a session and only supports iteration instead of full control of which page to request and of which size a page should be.
To obtain the next page, the API user should follow the “next” link from the “_links” section in the result JSON ...
The /auto-complete endpoint allows to provide a limit parameter. However, that does not seem to be supported by the /api/food-database/v2/parser endpoint you're interested in.

Roblox api - What is the "cursor" argument

In the roblox api documentation (not to be confused with roblox's lua documentation) there is an argument for some GET request operations, for example https://inventory.roblox.com/v2/users/2333/inventory?assetTypes=Model&cursor=idk&limit=10&sortOrder=Asc . What are the cursors/how do they work?
I'm making a huge project that'll make using the roblox api way easier, but I dont know the cursors so there is a lot less I can do.
Roblox api documentation here
This is a concept called pagination. Pagination is when a website is split up into different pages. This helps Roblox and other websites not give back an unnecessary amount of information.
Once you send a request to Roblox which may return more than whatever limit you have specified entries you will get a cursor value. You can then send another request with that cursor value you were just given to get the next page of values.

Use the MS Graph REST API to order Tasks within a TaskList?

I'm playing with sample code and looking through the documentation on the Task List part of the MS Graph 1.0 REST API, and I'm trying to figure out how one might change the order of Tasks within a TaskList.
Thank you!
Sorting, filtering, pagination, and so on requests that requires any data are performing typically via url params or http body data. Check "API usage" section for pagination or any create method to see how it looks like. Documentation for TaskList request does not provide currently any info about params or http body.

Setting a feed limit on the Eventbrite API

I'm wondering if there is a way to set a limit as to how many events show in my feed. I can't seem to find any documentation as to how to do this. I only wish to show 3 events on my website's homepage, but it automatically lists them all.
I don't see anything under the request parameters (http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_new/) but I'm wondering if there is more documentation elsewhere.
event_new creates new events...it does not list events. So, you can't be using this API to create a "feed".
To list events, there are two API endpoints...user_list_events and organizer_list_events. user_list_events has more controls over the return data, so you should use that one.
Since there are not pagination controls on either of those methods, you will need to filter the result set yourself in whatever client library you are using.

YouTube API - Querying by publish date

I'm writing a webapp that uses the YouTube Code API to do specific types of searches. In this case, I'm trying to search for all videos that match a query, and which were uploaded between two dates. This document says I can use published-min and published-max parameters, while this one says I can use updated-min and updated-max.
Both of these parameter sets cause YouTube to return an error:
published-min returns "This service does not support the 'published-min parameter"
updated-min returns "This service does not support the 'updated-max' parameter"
With neither returns a correct result set.
How can I limit my result set to hits within a specified date range?
The Reference Guide for YouTube's Data API doesn't list anything that would suggest the possibility to filter on time interval in general.
The published-min argument is only advertised in the "User activity feeds" section which is something different and probably not the thing you wanted. Or is it?
The updated-min argument in your link is referenced in a generic gdata context. It looks like they intended to describe all the things common to all the specialized APIs, but somehow updated-min isn't available everywhere.
When it comes to your very problem. I would suggest sorting on time (orderby=published) and do the filtering on the client side. I know this is not the optimal way, but the only one I can see with what Google gives us.
youtube api v3 supports publishedAfter and publishedBefore parameters with search results. For example:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={{YOUKEY}}&channelId={{CHANNELID}}&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=50&publishedAfter=2014-09-21T00:00:00Z&publishedBefore=2014-09-22T02:00:00Z
