Pagination with API

[castroben]

I am using this module in Java to retrieve the number of contributors of a repository.The API returns 100 results for repositories that have a larger number of contributors than that.

This makes me think that the API is not performing pagination. Is this true?

For reference I am using the GHRepositoryStatistics.ContributorStats class.

Finally, I have experienced very slow response times from this API. Is this normal?

The API returns 100 results for repositories that have a larger number of contributors than that.

No, pagination is used:

github-api/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GHRepositoryStatistics.java

Lines 84 to 91 in dae92fc

	/**
	* This gets the actual statistics from the server. Returns null if they are still being cached.
	*/
	private PagedIterable<ContributorStats> getContributorStatsImpl() throws IOException {
	return root().createRequest()
	.withUrlPath(getApiTailUrl("contributors"))
	.toIterable(ContributorStats[].class, null);
	}

However, the results must be generated (making the API slow) and it is possible the implementation is incorrect in some way.
