We want to implement logic for pagination for API calls. For that we need to run some logic in loops .
Please suggest how can we write this logic in CEL.

CEL isn't a programming language, and it doesn't do things. SQL doesn't have loops, CEL doesn't either, for similar reasons.

Instead, CEL can transform data, for example with map or filter: https://github.com/google/cel-spec/blob/master/doc/langdef.md#macros

But if your goal is pagination, you probably just want to add an additional parameter to your CEL query like page = , and do paging on the backend with your regular programming language.

Thank you for quick response. unfortunately, backend is third-party and they not supporting pagination.
