[JENKINS-52522] Display more than 100 records in the workflow api

[jenkins-infra-bot]

 In general, we have a pipeline that generates 400+ stageFlowNodes. We have about 5 stages, each with a varying about of stageFlowNodes. In specific, we have a pipeline that spawns 48 parallel branches, each includes 8 steps, which show up as stageFlowNodes under a stage. 

Our issue here is that we cannot query the pipeline beyond the first 100 stageFlowNodes using the workflow api (wfapi/describe) - more specifically using http:////execution/node//wfapi/describe

Using this information, we are able to extract how long each test ran. 

I have been trying to find a way to query beyond the 100 stageFlowNodes, but have been unsuccessful - being able to see more than the first 100 would benefit us greatly.

The priority is a blocker as we have had to stop development because this issue is stopping us from extracting all the data. 

I am currently not aware of a pagination endpoint that can be used to display more results.

What we are requesting is more results be displayed by the API, specifically under the stageFlowNodes under each stage.

  We have the same issue. I have a pipeline that generates more than 100 stageFlowNodes. I had always assumed there was a pagination API that I needed to utilize to get the remaining information. However, I just went looking for it and could not find it. Then, I found this.
  The fact that it has sat here for 6 months doesn't give me much hope that a resolution is soon to come. 
  If there is a cap, can it be raised?
  If it cannot be raised, can the API be extended so that we can get access to the information in another way?

  Hey Ken,
  
  I made a post in their Google Groups and they said that the WorkFlowPluginAPI will be not be maintained soon. They suggested I use the BlueOcean Plugin API. 
  
  I was able to use the Blue Ocean API and produce the same results as the WorkFlowStagePlugin would have. I hope that helps!

  Thanks for the info.
  Does the Blue Ocean API have the 100 record limit? Or is it fixed there?

  There's a pagination feature with the the Blue Ocean API, "?start=<int>". If you have 200 records, per say, you'd add this endpoint, after you've retrieved the first 100, and would include "?start=100" at the end of your request to retrieve the next 100 records.
