Censys Platform search vs old Censys API search

So, with the old Censys API, I used the Python SDK search, with pagination.  With the new Censys Platform API Python SDK, I don’t see pagination with the search method. Would the new search method be able to handle very large rows of results, even though it doesn’t allow for pagination?  Do I need to use a different methodology (maybe even using the API without the SDK), to return large amounts of data?As such, what’s considered, “large”. As well, my user is in a Commercial Pro account. I used to be able to email support@censys.io , but now I get an autoresponse saying that I’m not eligable. Thanks!

 Censys Platform Q&A
Support for "host.whois.network.cidrs"/ "whois.network.cidrs" in Report Builder

Hi Censys Team,I'm trying to generate a report in the Report Builder using the host.whois.network.cidrs/whois.network.cidrs (in legacy censys) field to analyze CIDR blocks associated with WHOIS records, but it seems this field is not currently supported. When attempting to build the report, I get the following error in the legacy one:Error 422. Invalid field: Term aggregations are not supported. If you believe this is an error on our part, please contact us. and here's a screenshot for the same in new platform:It appears that term aggregations for host.whois.network.cidrs / whois.network.cidrs are either disabled or not yet implemented in the Report Builder. This field would be extremely useful for understanding IP space distribution across organizations or registrants at a CIDR level.Could you please confirm if this field will be supported in future updates? If not currently on the roadmap, I’d love to request this as a feature enhancement.Thanks in advance!

 ASM Q&A
Excluding assets from the API

I’ve looked over the API docs https://app.censys.io/api-docs for ASM, but I am not sure what endpoint is used or if there is one to exclude assets from ASM. Is there an ability to do that from the API?I am trying to use Torq to set a quick action from their case management tool so that if we verify it no longer belongs to use, we can exclude the address or domain from Censys ASM.
