To change the upper limit of the number of items in the collection list beyond 100 in Webflow, you would need to make use of Webflow's API. By default, Webflow sets a limit of 100 items per collection list due to performance reasons. However, by utilizing the API, you can bypass this limit and display more than 100 items by following these steps:

Enable the Webflow API: To access the API, you will first need to enable it in your Webflow project settings. Go to the Project Settings, navigate to the Integrations tab, and click on the 'Generate API Token' button. This will provide you with an API token that you will need to use.
Fetch content using the API: Once the API token is generated, you can use it to fetch the content of your collection items. You can do this by making API requests to the Webflow API using tools like Postman, cURL, or other programming languages.
Customize the number of items to display: By default, when you use the Webflow API, it will return a response with up to 100 items. To increase this limit, you can make use of the limit parameter in your API request. For example, if you want to display 500 items, you can set the limit parameter to 500. This will return the first 500 items in your collection.
Pagination: It's important to note that when you increase the limit beyond 100, the API response will be paginated. This means that the API will return a certain number of items per page, and you will need to handle pagination to retrieve all the data. The API response will provide you with pagination information such as the total number of pages and the URL to fetch the next page.

By following the steps above, you can change the upper limit of the number of items in the collection list beyond 100 in Webflow and display more items using the Webflow API.
