        ```
    </Col>
</Row>

### Pagination

Collections MUST support pagination, using the following URI parameters:

- `offset`: The number of items to skip before returning the first item. This is a zero-based index.
- `limit`: The maximum number of items to return. This is a one-based index. Implementations MUST support a minimum of `1` and a maximum of `40` items.

```http {{ 'title': 'Example paginated collection request' }}
GET /.versia/v0.6/entities/user/1234/collections/followers?offset=10&limit=20
Host: b.social
Accept: application/vnd.versia+json
```

## Inbox

The inbox endpoint is used for other instances to send entities to this instance. It is a single endpoint that can receive messages for every user (also known as a shared inbox).

The delivery mechanism is described further in the [Federation](/federation) document.

<Row>
    <Col>
        <Properties name="Inbox">
            <Property name="endpoint">
                Must be `/.versia/v0.6/inbox`.
            </Property>
            <Property name="method">
                Must be `POST`.
            </Property>
        </Properties>
    </Col>

        Host: b.social
        Accept: application/vnd.versia+json
        Content-Type: application/vnd.versia+json

            ...
        }
