Paginated API Tasks

Twilio's HackerRank assessment usually includes one REST-API task. You get a jsonmock endpoint, a query parameter or two and a function to fill in. Results come back a page at a time, and your answer has to cover all of them, so the loop over the responses matters as much as the math.

Three versions are worked end to end below, starting with the one that shows up most. One is short, and the last is a newer form of the same endpoint.

Here the responses are passed in, already parsed, so the code runs with no network. The loop is the one you'd write against the live endpoint anyway. Read total_pages from the first response and walk through the rest in order. The follow-ups then swap the argument for real HTTP calls.
