Get lists of entities

It's easy to get a list of entity objects from from the API:/<entity_name>. Here's an example:

• Get a list of all the topics in OpenAlex:
  https://api.openalex.org/topics

This query returns a meta object with details about the query, a results list of Topic objects, and an empty group_by list:

meta: {
    count: 4516,
    db_response_time_ms: 81,
    page: 1,
    per_page: 25
    },
results: [
    // long list of Topic entities
 ],
group_by: [] // empty

Listing entities is a lot more useful when you add parameters to page, filter, search, and sort them. Keep reading to learn how to do that.
