Now that you have a token, you can make API calls against your Passly tenant. You can find all the available API endpoints within the Passly UI:

Pagination

In order to get more than 100 records, you would need to use the attributes top and skip. NOTE: Skip must be used with an order by attribute, while top can be used by itself. 

Example: 

The below API endpoint will provide you the second record in your Passly user list.

GET https://cp.my.passly.com/api/directory/People/PeopleDTO?$orderby=PrincipalName&$top=1&$skip=1

This will skip the first record, and return the top record which is the second record as the first one is skipped.
