How to manipulate API results

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this.

I have a valid login for a website which has access to a database which has around 20k+ results but it will only spill out 20 results per search and some results are never revealed due to the low search return.

Is there anyway to make the database give out all results?

Probably not. Any properly developed API will have restrictions like these for a reason - to keep costs and resource usage under control. Imagine how resource intensive it would become if you had tons of people querying 20k database records over and over.

Hope that helps clear things up for you.
