Hey&nbsp;&nbsp;I just revisited this myself in the last week,&nbsp;The token is returned in the response, but it the same token as the one generated creating the report, I've not a great programmer but I just put the API call in a loop and check that token was not returned "null" and it worksHope that helps

&nbsp;In short, is there a limit to the amount of HostID's that can be submitted in a post&nbsp; to a System inventory Report.&nbsp;

Hi, sorry for any confusion there.

It is true that 50 is the current maximum return value, and a continuation token is also returned.&nbsp; We should have this part updated in the API documents very soon.

Thanks for the response&nbsp;what is the purpose of the continuation token?

It’s to assure we don’t potentially dump back several thousand lines in the result that could exceed timeouts on the response or flood the receiving code.
