# Add a new api endpoint/feature
Most of the api endpoints/features of Vikunja are using the [common web handler](https://code.vikunja.io/web).
This is a library created by Vikunja in an effort to facilitate the creation of REST endpoints.
This works by abstracting the handling of CRUD-Requests, including rights check.
You can learn more about the web handler on [the project's repo](https://code.vikunja.io/web).
### Helper for pagination
Pagination limits can be calculated with a helper function, `getLimitFromPageIndex(pageIndex)`
(only available in the `models` package) from any page number.
It returns the `limit` (max-length) and `offset` parameters needed for SQL-Queries.
You can feed this function directly into xorm's `Limit`-Function like so:
{{< highlight golang >}}
lists := []List{}
2019-10-23 23:11:40 +02:00
err := x.Limit(getLimitFromPageIndex(pageIndex, itemsPerPage)).Find(&lists)

{{< /highlight >}}
// TODO: Add a full example from start to finish, like a tutorial on how to create a new endpoint?
