It limits to 100 items returned. If you want more then you need a loop with adjusting **firstIndex** and **lastIndex** or provide the **adminPassword** to that node

I don't think localhost needs the adminPassword, but am not 100% sure.  
The default api call would have the parameters:

```auto
firstIndex: 0
lastIndex: 99

```

So if you wanted the next 100, you would do the API call with

```auto
firstIndex: 100
lastIndex: 199

```

and etc to get the rest

Actually you only need the `firstIndex` parameter, then you will get up to 100 records from that index. If you got 100 then you can repeat the call with the `firstIndex` increased with 100 to fetch the next records. Repeat until you get less than 100 records.

When I set nxt.properties file to `nxt.maxAPIRecords=1000` , it can receive 1000 records on there node?

Yes, that setting controls the maximum (default if not specified) number of records returned on a single request.
