REST

I am querying a rest service using a httpwebrequest which by default limits the returned data to 100 records. I am using date parameters within the query and I also wish to increase the limit to 500 records.

The current working query:

The true query string is constructed using a class object and is json serialized. The sample is used to show the request content!

query =?where={"_createdAt":{"$gte":{"$date":"2014-11- 12T09:17:59.5894738Z"},"$lt":{"$date":"2014-11-20T09:17:59.5894738Z"}}}

request = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create("https://api.mydata.com/rest/1/db/collections/jobs" & query), HttpWebRequest)

how would i add the limit parameter to the existing query. I have tried simply appending the limit to the request which does not break the query but also it does not limit the results! How do you construct both elements the date delimiter and the limit?
