Response

Successful Response

actId
string
required
total
integer
required

Distinct subordinate instruments across all pages, not rows on this page (that is returned). Counted per instrument, so an instrument stored as many passages counts once.

totalIsExact
boolean
required

False when the corpus scan behind total hit its ceiling, which makes total a floor. The largest parent measured, the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, matches 8,047 passages.

returned
integer
required

Rows in children on THIS page.

page
integer
required

1-based page this response answers.

required

Rows per page requested.

hasMore
boolean
required

True when a further page of instruments exists.

truncated
boolean
required

DEPRECATED. True when hasMore is true or totalIsExact is false. Read those two instead.
