# Drupal.org's legacy D7 content API — paging and a filter that actually matters

`GET www.drupal.org/api-d7/node.json?type=project_module&field_project_type=full&page=N`
lists Drupal modules; no key required, 900s edge cache.

## Probe 1 — paging and the last page

```
curl "https://www.drupal.org/api-d7/node.json?type=project_module&field_project_type=full&page=0"
curl ".../api-d7/node.json?type=project_module&field_project_type=full&page=786"
curl ".../api-d7/node.json?type=project_module&field_project_type=full&page=99999"
```

- `page=0`: `list` has 50 items; `last` link names `page=786`.
- `page=786` (the named last page): `list` has 34 items, **no `next` key present at
  all** — the absence of `next` is the clean termination signal (≈786×50+34 = 39,334
  modules total).
- `page=99999` (past the end): `HTTP 404`, body `404 Not Found: Page doesn&#039;t exist.`
  — **plain HTML-escaped text, not JSON**, despite every valid page answering
  `Content-Type: application/json`. A client parsing every response as JSON needs a
  content-type or status check before the final page, not just an empty-list check.

## Probe 2 — the `type` filter is not cosmetic

```
curl "https://www.drupal.org/api-d7/node.json?page=0"
```

Omitting `type=project_module` returns `page=0`'s list containing node type
`project_issue` mixed in with modules — this is a generic `node.json` listing across
**all** Drupal.org content types (modules, issues, themes, etc.), not a modules-only
feed with a default. The `type` parameter is required for a modules list, not optional.

## How observed

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:15:26Z–11:15:50Z, curl GET against www.drupal.org, no auth,
`page` varied 0/786/99999, `type` present/absent, responses parsed with python3 json
(except the 404, read as raw text).
