How do you implement pagination, filtering, and sorting in APIs?

Senior Python
Quick Answer DRF pagination: PageNumberPagination, LimitOffsetPagination, CursorPagination. Filtering: django-filter library with DjangoFilterBackend. Search: SearchFilter on specific fields. Ordering: OrderingFilter allows clients to sort. FastAPI uses Query parameters with Depends() for pagination. Implement cursor-based pagination for large datasets (stable under insertions) instead of offset-based.

Answer

Pagination splits large data sets.
Filtering uses query parameters.
Sorting results ensures consistent ordering and performance.
