Hello, I am trying to use the scroll API in Python, and i having an issue for it looping through my whole dataset.
I get about 100 results returned when there should be over 150k of them (I can see them in kibana)
attached is my code
```
res = helpers.scan(client = es, scroll = '2m', query = {
"size": 10000,
"query": {
"match": {
"type": {
"query": "SSH-Telnet_Threats"
}}}},
index = "logstash-*")
# function to return hits from the elasticsearch query in res
def get_es_json(es_scan):
for hits in es_scan:
return hits
# iterate through results with defined number of results
def return_es_results(es_json_data, num_results):
for i in range(num_results):
data = get_es_json(es_json_data)
print(data['_source']['geoip']['asn'])
return_es_results(res, 100)
```

I replied in stackoverflow.
In your call you asked for 100 results
```auto
return_es_results(res, 100)
```
So it's returning 100 results....
you may want to paginate?
if you use django there's some documentation here about pagination:
