There is no retrieve subitems GraphQL API, we can retrieve subitems using retrieve item. Also, there is no pagination support for subitems. It is always retrieve all the subitems. Considering this, Is there any limit on the number of subitems for each item in the board?

Hello @prasmadd !

Yes. You can retrieve information about a subitem with the items() query.

You can use pagination in the items() query using the board ID of a subitems board before items().

Hi @Matias.Monday

If no pagination on subitems query and no limit on number of subitems can be added for particular item. How retrieve will work when one item is having many subitems like few 1000s or 100000s of subitems.

Hello again @prasmadd !

What is the use case here?

What would you like to query for in this case?

@prasmadd

According to the documentation (and my own testing) the combined total number of items AND subitems cannot exceed 10,000.

Also, it seems that you might not have understood Matias’ comment “You can use pagination in the items() query using the board ID of a subitems board before items().”

You CAN use pagination when you query subitems… as long as you are querying them via the subitems board.
