Add configuration options for pagination

**Description**
Currently api lacks proper timeout support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable timeout with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The issue provides no file, test, or entry point; first reconcile the pagination title with the body’s timeout request and locate the API configuration path. Confirm whether the intended work is configurable timeout support, then identify the relevant tests and define done as sensible defaults plus user-configurable timeout behavior.
