Feeling right royally down this evening - I have a call tomorrow to look at some software development, I have a ready made solution to the problem I will be faced with but there is another way to do the same thing and I am attempting to get my head around it.
But can I get it to return even the most simple dataset as it should do - no I cannot, spent two days, seen some progress but not enough.
Sometimes I feel like I am a total failure and my imposter syndrome is banging all the drums it can muster at present to make me feel much worse.
Hopefully, now I've said this out loud I will knuckle down and sort it.

A light bulb - in an example I've been looking for a parameter called page - but it had been passed in as 'count' - took me ages to see it as all the other parameters being passed bore the same name going in as listed in the function - I couldn't see how 'page' was being calculated till I saw it.
Does also help that I'd overcome the initial challenge on seeing some actual data come from once I'd found a suitable free API I could test on without needing credentials.
Progress is being made - now to rewrite the initial stuff to cycle through the pages.

And I no longer feel like the failure I did 3 hours ago.
Returned over 1000 lines of data in pages of 50 from an API.
I can sleep tonight now as I know I can do this - tomorrow it's doing it on the real API and adding in logon credentials - but that's just one additional function to play with.
Psychology works - admit your feelings and then begin to build yourself back up.
