HTTP Node Pagination $response undefined on first run

[rafuru]

Describe the problem/error/question

1. On first run when use $response in pagination parameters value it’s throwing an error because data is undefined.
   
   If I run first time without pagination and then try it’s working
   
2. I used {{ $response.body.toJsonString().parseJson()[0].id + 2 }} because {{ $response.body.id + 2 }} doesn’t work.
   
   In other case i got this error
   “The returned response was identical 5x, so requests got stopped
   Check if “Pagination Completed When” has been configured correctly.” and I used this {{ !$response.body.last_page }}. So i think it’s the same case when request doesn’t have $response yet and error is thrown.
   BTW: documentation doesn’t mention anything about using ! with $response (HTTP Request | n8n Docs).

Hey @rafuru! Thanks for reaching out and being a part of our community. You should use the $pageCount parameter in your query params. Pagination | n8n Docs
