Iterating using the skip token and concatenating the results does not return a full data set

Hello Team,

I have a client from Citadel, who is looking out an answer for below question.

Initial query:-Using the @odata.nextlink property to iterate over search results. However every time I call the API it returns a different unique set of tickers when I combine everything(each time it returns 1350 results, but there are many duplicates and therefore missing tickers each time). Maybe an issue with the ‘skip_token’ logic?

Resolution:- I had advised client to use " Prefer: odata.maxpagesize=100000; respond-async " to get the complete data set. (Search_FuturesAndOptions Sample API.txt).

However client have raised the below follow up. Kindly advise.

Follow up:-Using maxpagesize=10000 solved my issue thanks! Still might be worth looking into the skip token issue if you guys have time(iterating using the skip token and concatenating the results does not return a full data set, aka less rics than if you were get them all back at once), however this unblocks me for now so I appreciate the quick turnaround!
