Request Query Parameters

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pageNum	number	Optional	One-based integer that returns a subsection of results.	`1`
itemsPerPage	number	Optional	Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code.
