Hi Ben, I started developing an API for a client last month and choose to use the API library rocket_pants. It does a lot stuff for me including taking care of putting pagination in the response. It also standardizes all the responses which means the iOS developer gets less surprises. If you haven't tried it, it's worth taking a look at it. I know it's not for everybody.
