How to bypass vk.com api limit of 1000 people?

Question

In contact with

The vk api users.search method does not display more than 1000 people, even when using the offset = 1000 parameter. There are search criteria: gender, age, marital status. It is necessary, in accordance with these criteria, to get all users (a bot is written).
Implementation idea: literal enumeration of the query parameter of this method. Disadvantages: if you enter a name, "Alla", for example, there will be more than 1000 results, so you won't be able to take all of them.
Are there better ideas to get around this limitation?

Answer 2

You messed something up.
count has a limit
of 1000 and offset has no such limit.
If count = 100 , once you've finished with 100 users, shift offset by + 100 . so you can pull all users
