The ‘hits’ property in the payload is the number of clauses matched in total.
The default response includes the latest 10 items added to the archive, and you’ll have to paginate through the response to get additional content.
The API can also be interrogated using query parameters to fetch specific subsets of data.

We recommend the use of GZIP compression to gain up to 80% reduction in the json data transfer.
