Lists blobs (V2) Missing nextPageMarker

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10
This is hopefully a quick fix, but I'm having trouble with a flow I built a few months back. It checks a blob storage site on Azure for a list of files and that storage site recently went over 5000 items. I'm updating it to make use of paging markers and pagination to account for that, like so:
 
 
The problem is there doesn't appear to be a 'nextPageMarker' in the dynamic content coming from Lists blobs (V2), nor am I able to force it in by writing an expression like this (Power Automate states that it is invalid):
@outputs('Lists_blobs_(V2)')?['body/nextPageMarker']
 
I've tried turning Pagination on and off, I asked Copilot, so far I haven't had any success. I can see from the last few times the flow ran that the Lists blobs action has returned a nextPageMarker, but I'm unsure why it's missing in the editor.

    That is accurate, it's not part of the Dynamic Properties, and only shows up if you reach your Pagination Count and is only good if you access it directly.
     
    I know you said you turned on pagination, and you are sure you saw nextPageMarker and not nextMarker?
     
    If its under the pagination limit it won't show up at all and it will not be part of the dynamic properties with that connector.
     

    If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

    Thank you!

    I did this test run yesterday. It hit the limit but did not provide a nextPageMarker or a nextMarker in the outputs.
     
     
    And here's a quick search of the outputs, showing no results for anything containing the word 'next':
     
    I only saw a nextPageMarker when I had Pagination set to off in a separate test I ran. In both cases, I am unable to reference nextPageMarker in the editor.

    Ah sorry for the confusion let me say it differently.
     
    If you turn on Pagination, it handles everything itself and therefor does not show it.
     
    If you turn off Pagination (which means you want to handle it) you will need a Do Until loop, with your apply to each inside, and you will get the marker then.
     
    Sorry I re-read what I said and see its confusing.
     
    If you turn on pagination it will not show you the marker because it's doing it itself internally but its lame because it... sort of stops. So I don't use the pagination, I instead do
     
     
    Do Until (variable that has the marker in it) and do this until its Null/Blank
     
    Inside do your Apply to each, leveraging your marker if you have one to get the next set of 5k.
     
    Again my apologies if I confused you but the above is what you need to do. I don't usually use pagination as it sort of stinks. Self pagination is much better (imho)

    I have Pagination turned off in this version in an attempt to use self-pagination, however I'm still unable to use the paging marker from the Lists blobs action. It's simply not there.
     
     
    I've also tried writing it as an expression, but that also doesn't work.

    I would have to see everything versus just these pictures.
     
     Again, it will never show in Dynamic properties (no matter what) as its a Dynamic schema item and that isn't supported by a strict schema connector. Its not like Parse JSON where it can do Dynamic stuff.
    As to why you cannot see it with it off I cannot say.

    The only reason is if it doesn't believe you have more than the 5K that is the default.

     It would be interesting as you can set the number higher than 5k, if you set it higher than 5K, do you get more than 5k?

    Please note that nextMarker is NOT under Value so if you are looking there you won't see it, its under the body at the same level as Value.
     
     
    Again I see it, I do not know why you do not.
     
    So you need either
     
     
    body('MyBlobsLists2')?['nextMarker']
    Or
     
    body('MyBlobsList2')?['nextPageMarker']
     
     
    its bonkers you do not see them but if you are using a path with value that is why you do not see it.

    That did it. I'm still absolutely baffled that it just isn't displayed anywhere, but happy to have it working again. Thank you!
