<p>I have a JSON field that I've setup with the following structure:</p>
<pre><code>{
    &quot;pagination_url&quot;: &quot;https://myapi.com?pageNumber=2&quot;,
    &quot;items: [
        {&quot;thing&quot;: &quot;thing&quot;, &quot;thing&quot;: &quot;thing&quot;},
        {&quot;thing&quot;: &quot;thing&quot;, &quot;thing&quot;: &quot;thing&quot;}
    ]
}
</code></pre>
<p>When I go to the feed setup screens, where you choose your &quot;Primary Element&quot; everything is fine. It shows that my root has 2 things, but that &quot;items&quot; has more and you can choose &quot;items&quot; as the root element.</p>
<p>But below that where you choose &quot;Pagination URL&quot;, there are no options in the drop-down. It won't let me select &quot;pagination_url&quot;. It just says &quot;No Pagination URL&quot;.</p>
<p>The documentation doesn't say much, but as far as I can tell I'm following the directions. <a href="https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/feature-tour/primary-element.html#pagination-url" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/feature-tour/primary-element.html#pagination-url</a></p>
<p>What am I missing here?</p>

That should work. Can you [try validating](https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com) your `JSON`, there might be an error in there.

Yes, JSON is valid.

Feedme Plugin: Why won't it give me a pagination URL option?
# Feedme Plugin: Why won't it give me a pagination URL option?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-09-09)

I have a JSON field that I've setup with the following structure:
{
    "pagination_url": "https://myapi.com?pageNumber=2",
    "items: [
        {"thing": "thing", "thing": "thing"},
        {"thing": "thing", "thing": "thing"}
    ]
}

When I go to the feed setup screens, where you choose your "Primary Element" everything is fine. It shows that my root has 2 things, but that "items" has more and you can choose "items" as the root element.
But below that where you choose "Pagination URL", there are no options in the drop-down. It won't let me select "pagination_url". It just says "No Pagination URL".
The documentation doesn't say much, but as far as I can tell I'm following the directions. https://docs.craftcms.com/feed-me/v4/feature-tour/primary-element.html#pagination-url
What am I missing here?

I found a workaround! This does seem like a UI issue for Feedme. When you get to the point in the configuration and it was only presenting me with a dropdown of "No Pagination URL", I inspected the page with browser tools and just created a new option in that form with a value of "pagination\_url", made sure it was selected, then proceeded and it worked fine after that!
