Support pagination configuration

**Problem**
When working with api, the error messages could be more descriptive.

**Suggestion**
Improve error handling and add detailed error messages.

**Context**
This would help with debugging and maintenance.

The title requests pagination configuration, while the body asks for more descriptive API error messages and names no files or tests. Start by locating the API entry points for pagination and error handling, then clarify which scope is intended. Done should be a defined pagination or error-message behavior covered by the relevant checks.
