Limits: Can Axios Interceptors Enforce Pagination Limits on Large API Responses?

Goal

Determine whether Axios interceptors can automatically impose query‑parameter limits (e.g., limit and offset) on requests to bound large datasets and streamline pagination handling.

Constraints & Uncertainty

The API server supports standard limit and offset parameters, but there is no client‑side enforcement documented in Axios. Interceptors modify request configs before dispatch, yet it is unclear if they can reliably append or override pagination parameters without side effects, especially when multiple Axios instances coexist. Additionally, the interaction between transformResponse and paginated data structures has not been explored in the context of automatic limit enforcement.

Questions

• Is there a recommended pattern for interceptors that inject or validate limit and offset parameters across all Axios instances?
• How do global interceptors affect pagination logic when different modules require distinct limit values?
• Can transformResponse be leveraged to automatically trim oversized datasets before they reach application code?
