pageSize opts not working
Problem
Hello, I'm facing a wrong behaviour using the twilio-node sdk. If I try to retrieve the messages list from a channel setting a pageSize value, let's say equal to 25, the result contains all the messages like if the pageSize option is ignored. I tried using the REST api instead, specifying the `?PageSize=25` param, and all works fine since I get the first 25 messages and the link for the next page and so on. How can I solve this? Thanks. Is there also a way to specify the starting page? Thanks, Simone Version: 3.30.3 Code Snippet [code block]

Fix pageSize Option in Twilio Node SDK for Message Retrieval
The Twilio Node SDK may not be correctly applying the pageSize parameter when retrieving messages from a channel, leading to the retrieval of all messages instead of the specified limit. This could be due to a bug in the SDK version 3.30.3 or a misunderstanding of how pagination is implemented in the SDK compared to the REST API.

- 1
Update Twilio Node SDK
Check if there is a newer version of the Twilio Node SDK available that may have fixed this issue. Update to the latest version if possible.
bashnpm install twilio@latest - 2
Use REST API for Pagination
If updating the SDK does not resolve the issue, consider using the REST API directly for retrieving messages with pagination. This can be done by making an HTTP GET request to the appropriate endpoint with the pageSize parameter.
javascriptconst axios = require('axios'); axios.get('https://api.twilio.com/v2/Channels/{ChannelSid}/Messages?PageSize=25', { auth: { username: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID', password: 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' } }).then(response => { console.log(response.data); }).catch(error => { console.error(error); }); - 3
Implement Starting Page Logic
To specify the starting page, you can use the 'Page' parameter in the REST API call. Adjust your request to include this parameter to retrieve messages from a specific page.
javascriptaxios.get('https://api.twilio.com/v2/Channels/{ChannelSid}/Messages?PageSize=25&Page=2', { auth: { username: 'YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID', password: 'YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN' } }) - 4
Test the Implementation
Run the updated code to ensure that the messages retrieved are limited to the specified pageSize and that pagination works as expected. Verify that the output matches the expected number of messages.
Validation
Confirm that the number of messages returned is equal to the pageSize specified (25 in this case) and that pagination links are correctly provided for further pages. Check the console output for any errors.
