+# Pagination and filtering
+
+Pin objects can be listed by executing `GET /pins` with optional parameters:
+
+
+- When no filters are provided, the endpoint will return a small batch of 10 most
+  recently created items, from the latest to the oldest.
+
+- The number of returned items can be adjusted with `limit` parameter
+  (implicit default is 10).
+
+- If the value in `PinResults.count` is bigger than the length of
+  `PinResults.results`, the client can infer there are more results that can be queried.
+
+- To read more items, pass the `before` filter with the timestamp from
+  `PinStatus.created` found in the oldest item in the current batch of results.
+  Repeat to read all results.
+
+- Returned results can be fine-tuned by applying optional `after`, `cid`,
+  `status` or `meta` filters.
