Ah, no, in fact I do not recall seeing that, it looks like it has had a lot 
of development recently so it appears that it might be newer than when I 
built my api pipeline.  I've not had a pagination setup yet as the client 
requests the range of what they want for the one set of where a range is 
useful.  It is an internal API so if I exposed it to the public I'd set a 
range limit of 100 or something.

And nope, it's tied in through a specialized websocket (via phoenix) so I 
just build the queries manually and send it in via my phoenix library 
currently, pretty basic, but nice to use even manually.
