I’m trying to achieve pagination here. I found only one way of doing it in API call, and that is using limit and skip as in [this](https://discourse.getcockpit.com/t/pagination-on-get-entries-for-the-frontend/755/2).It is quite like _ **limit** _ and _ **offset** _ in SQL databases. I’m wandering will the ‘limit and skip’ in cockpit cms has the same _ **page drift** _( ?[Here](https://nordicapis.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-api-pagination/): under offset pagination) phenomenon as in SQL. 👀

If so, is there a way to achieve _ **keyset pagination** _( ?_use same link as in_ ‘Here’: under keyset pagination) in cockpit cms?

Cheers!
