API - getPersonAssets - more than 1000 reccords

[Rick45]

Hello everyone, before anything else, great job on the app. It's amazing.

One thing that I'm miss from google photos is the "smart" albums, where I used to have an album with my wife where it automatically add the pictures of our daughter.

as that is currently unavailable, I have built a Python script that runs every day at 1AM that queries the person's assets(in this case, my daughter) and adds them to a shared album.

the main issue that I have is that currently, the endpoint getPersonAssets only returns a maximum of 1000 items, and I don't see a way to do any type of skip/paging, so, when I do the initial run, as I have around 1.5k assets for her, the album only receives the latest 1000.

Is there any way to do a paging query that I'm missing?

The endpoint that I'm currently using for grabbing the person assets: https://immich.app/docs/api/get-person-assets

This endpoint doesn't support pagination. You can use searchMetadata to achieve the same thing and have pagination support.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to give it a try.
