/release/by_author is missing a from or page option

[jackdeguest]

The endpoint /release/by_author[1] usually returns a lot of releases, and the option size allows defining the size of each data set returned, but there is no option to navigate among those data set, such as an option from or page.

For example /release/by_author/OALDERS returns 556 hits.

#1131 will solve this.

Future work - merge the queries from multiple subs in the files & sub arguments naming standardization (author, pauseid, etc.)

Thank you!

An excellent idea. For example, the following endpoints, use the option page_size where it is usually just size elsewhere.

• /v1/release/all_by_author/{author}
• /v1/release/recent
• /v1/release/top_uploaders
• /v1/reverse_dependencies/dist/{distribution}
• /v1/reverse_dependencies/module/{module}
