Answer 1

The maxResults query parameter can be used to limit (or increase) the number of items returned in a list request. There is a default value and a hard limit that is set by our server. Unfortunately, we don't usually document those numbers as they can easily change and recommend developers to look for a nextPageToken and/or nextLink in the resulting collection to know whether or not all items have been returned.

The nextPageToken attribute is to be used as the pageToken query parameter on a list request. If you are using the nextLink from the resulting collection, you do not need to specify the pageToken query parameter as it should already be included.
