JSON skip first N rows
ClientDrop the first N elements from a JSON array to simulate pagination offsets or remove warm-up rows from log snapshots.
Learn more: JSON skip first N rows
Drop the first N elements from a JSON array—pagination offsets, header rows, or warm-up samples—without re-fetching the upstream API.
Count parameter
Enter N as a non-negative integer. The tool returns the tail of the array starting at index N. Use pad-to-length afterward if you need a fixed batch size.
Array input
Input must be a JSON array. For object rows, skipping removes whole objects, not individual fields.
Privacy
Slicing runs in your browser.
About JSON skip first N rows
Remove the first N rows from a JSON array—browser. Parsing and transforms run in your browser—Toolcore does not upload your JSON for this operation.
How to use
Paste a JSON array (or follow the two-array example on join tools). Use Load example when shown, or prefill with ?q= / ?qb= on the tool URL.
Input and limits
Fix JSON syntax errors before expecting output. Very large arrays may slow the tab—trim samples during exploration, then scale up locally.

Common use cases
- Drop header or warm-up rows from a JSON array when simulating pagination offset.
- Remove the first N events from a log snapshot before further transforms.
- Align two arrays by skipping mismatched head rows locally.
Common mistakes to avoid
N larger than array length
Skipping all elements yields an empty array—verify N against row count.
Negative or non-integer N
Use a whole number count; invalid input shows an error instead of silent results.
Expecting field-level skip
This tool slices the array—use field tools to drop columns inside objects.
FAQ
Does skip run locally?
Yes—array slicing happens in your browser.
Can agents prefill JSON?
Yes—?q= / ?qb= for the array; set N on the page.
What input type is required?
A JSON array—objects or primitives depending on your workflow.
