Github api 'List pull requests files' only returns 30 files

Question

I am trying to retrieve a list of all the files included in a pull request. The Github API documentation in the following URL - https://developer.github.com/v3/pulls/#list-pull-requests-files mentions that it can retrieve a maximum of 300 files. However, when i run the request from Advanced Rest Client, i get a list of only 30 files.

Is there any way i could retrieve a list of all the files included in the pull request?

Github API paginates data in sets of 30 or 100 (depending on what you are requesting). You could consider increasing the per_page count to a higher value or just traverse through the pages. Ref: Github Pagination
