Github API Pagination Algorithm for Node

Pseudo-pagination algorithm

/*
    PROBLEM: We do not know how many iterations we'll need to perform to access all of the data.
             We want an algorithm to iterate over a page of data, and under some conditions 
             continue to run the requests function repeatedly until we reach a break condition.
             Essentially, the runtime of the loop is dynamically changing and we need a way to
             handle an indeterminate number of requests.

// Starting page counter
var pageCounter = 1;

// Given a base URL to start with...
var urls = [ GITHUB_RESOURCE_API + '/' + &page= ];

request({
    // grab data for the first page of any resource
    url: urls[0] + pageCounter,
    headers: { 'user-agent': 'git-technetium' },
    json: true
}, function(error, response, body){
    if(!error && response.statusCode === 200){
        // Check the length of the body. If it is less than 30, then we know there is only one page of data.
        if(body.length < 30){
            // ... handle the data as we normally would
        }
        else{
            // length of body is <= 30. This means there could potentially be another page of data. 
            // ... process data as we normally would
            // Update pageCounter
            pageCounter++;
            // Push second page for a new request
            urls.push(url + pageCounter);
            // Now we want to keep calling the requests function recursively until we find a body length < 30
        }
    }
