Helix clips API seemingly only returns 1000 clips at most

When using the get clips endpoint only returns up to 1000 clips when using pagination. Is there another way to retrieve clips without hitting this cap??

**Brief description** Similar to #18 I get to page 11 and the code stops fetc…hing clips **How to reproduce** ``` const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); const got = require('got'); var users = {}; let page = 0; fetchPage = function(c) { got({ url: 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/clips', searchParams: { broadcaster_id: '23735582', after: c, first: 100 }, headers: { 'client-id': 'b2z6u6b4sg6p84d3pq1ykcehlk1vhh9', authorization: 'Bearer AVALIDTOKE' }, responseType: 'json' }) .then(resp => { page++; for (var x=0;x<resp.body.data.length;x++) { users[resp.body.data[x].user_id] = 1; } console.log('Page',page,'has',resp.body.data.length,'users',Object.keys(users).length); fs.appendFileSync(path.join( __dirname, 'pages', page + '.json' ), JSON.stringify(resp.body,null,4)); if (resp.body.pagination && resp.body.pagination.cursor) { fetchPage(resp.body.pagination.cursor); } }) .catch(err => { console.log(err); }); } fetchPage(''); ``` **Expected behavior** Get all clips for that broadcaster. **Screenshots** ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20999/84086088-f0711c80-a9de-11ea-9fce-a5cdcd6db8e1.png) End of page 11: ``` { "id": "SpotlessZealousSangPupper", "url": "https://clips.twitch.tv/SpotlessZealousSangPupper", "embed_url": "https://clips.twitch.tv/embed?clip=SpotlessZealousSangPupper", "broadcaster_id": "23735582", "broadcaster_name": "Sacriel", "creator_id": "65127431", "creator_name": "Jaheija", "video_id": "176890327", "game_id": "493057", "language": "en-gb", "title": "SacSingle & ShannonSingle PogChamp", "view_count": 290, "created_at": "2017-09-23T15:23:47Z", "thumbnail_url": "https://clips-media-assets2.twitch.tv/26321450576-offset-7934-preview-480x272.jpg" } ], "pagination": {} } ``` **Additional context or questions**
