# get ALL users

 * Hi,
 *  I haven’t seen anything in the docs about this or anywhere else. I’m working
   on a site that has 115 users that all need to be represented in an app. The max
   I can go with ‘per_page’ is 100 and I don’t see any other parameters to get around
   this. Does anyone know how I can get ALL users, either using ‘/wp-json/wp/v2/
   users’ (with a query such as ‘?per_pag=’ ) or anything else?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Can you modify PHP on the site running the API?
 * Or, alternatively, have you consider using the `page` argument to get the second
   page of results?

 * Hi,
 *  thanks for the speedy reply. I’ve tried using the page argument – but seems 
   to paginate at 10 (no matter ‘per_page’ number is set, which means, unless I’m
   missing something, running through 11 different queries. I’ve tried it in Postman
   and in the browser and the result is the same.
 *  I can modify, just thought there might a query that would produce all the results.
   I think the earlier version could return all users (and categories), like posts
   can be done now – any plans to implement this?
 *  Thanks,

 * Huh. I’m not able to reproduce this locally. Can you share the request you’re
   making, and the full response, in a Pastebin or similar so I can understand the
   problem a bit further?
 * Also, just to confirm, you’ve deactivated all other plugins and have temporarily
   switched to the Twenty Sixteen theme to make sure there isn’t some custom code
   causing a problem?

 * No. We’ve intentionally limited the upper bound, because running unbounded queries
   can cause performance issues.
