Gitea widget shows wrong number of repositories

[synnodium]

Description

When I add the Gitea wiget, it shows that I only have 30 repositories, when I actually have more than 200. The Gitea API key is configured to be able to access all repositories and has all the correct permissions.

The issue seemingly arises from the Gitea API only returning 30 requests at the endpoint repos/search, although it does include a x-total-count header.

Funny it returns the real total in the header but not the JSON? Can you post the output?

[synnodium]

Here's the JSON, with one example result
sample.json

Also there doesn't seem to be any way to include the count in the results (docs)

Gotcha. Getting it from the headers will be a bit challenging. What about setting the limit to e.g. 99999? I know that feels a bit hack-y but its a very easy fix and I think 100k repositories is a reasonable limit =)

Does that API call return them all for you? http://localhost:3000/api/v1/repos/search?limit=99999

It seems to only return 50 results

Ah, bummer. Also lame thats not noted in the docs. Well, best you can do is ask over at Gitea if theres a way to get that total, maybe another API endpoint (I dont see one) or some how add it to the data being returned (which honestly seems easy enough).

It seems the API defaults page size to 30 according to https://docs.gitea.com/administration/config-cheat-sheet#api-api.

It seems to only return 50 results

it looks like it's hitting the MAX_RESPONSE_ITEMS default.

I have 45 repos so setting a high limit param retrieves the correct amount for me.

I suppose a workaround on the widgets end would be to either incrementally cumulate the count with each page query param until data is empty, or get the X-Total-Count val. https://docs.gitea.com/development/api-usage#pagination
