# Range

The range method is used to retrieve documents in chunks with pagination. This method supports a variety of options to configure the query to your needs.

<Note>
  The range command is stateless, meaning you need to pass all of the parameters in each subsequent request.

## Arguments

<ParamField body="cursor" type="string" required>
  The cursor to the last retrieved document. Should be set to `0` in the initial range request.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="prefix" type="string">
  A string prefix to match document IDs. All documents with IDs that start with this prefix will be retrieved.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="limit" type="number" required>
  The number of maximum documents wanted in the response of range. (page size)
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="RangeResponse" type="Object" required>
  <Expandable defaultOpen="true">
    <ResponseField name="nextCursor" type="string">
      The cursor for the next set of documents. When it becomes "", it means all documents were retrieved.
    </ResponseField>
