Objective:
Develop a custom plugin or identify an alternative solution to implement effective pagination or a "load more" functionality for property listings fetched from an API on a real estate website.

Background:
The real estate platform showcases property listings from both an internal database and an external API. Currently, properties listed via the API cannot be paginated effectively when users search by city or other criteria. The JetEngine plugin, which manages other filtering functions on the site, does not support fetching API-driven data for pagination.

Requirements:
● Compatibility: The solution must be compatible with the existing JetEngine plugin, all
other plugins and must not disrupt its current functionality.
● Functionality:
     ○ Enable pagination or a "load more" feature for listings fetched from the API.
     ○ Ensure seamless functionality with search results, especially when properties are
filtered by city or other parameters.
● Performance: The solution should not significantly impact the website’s loading times or overall performance.
● Scalability: Efficiently handle varying data volumes, such as 20, 50, or 100 property listings as set in the API parameters.
● Usability: Ensure that the user interface remains intuitive and consistent with the existing website design.

Deliverables:
● A custom plugin or a well-documented alternative solution that implements pagination or a "load more" button for API listings, initially displaying 28 results with subsequent pages also showing 28 additional results.
● Full integration with the current website setup and testing to confirm functionality.
● Documentation detailing the installation, configuration, and any necessary maintenance.

Challenges:
● Integration: The solution must seamlessly integrate with the existing scripts that connect the API to the JetEngine plugin, ensuring full compatibility without disrupting current functionalities.
● Performance: Maintaining high performance and load efficiency is crucial, even as the solution manages potentially large volumes of data.
