I am using Django Rest Framework's ModelViewSet for one of my views. ModelViewSet uses the ListModelMixin which automatically paginates the results but I do not want the results paginated. In my API call I say how many results I want returned but as it stands I can't get back more than 10 results in one call.

Is there a way to turn off the automatic pagination and so I can have as many results as I want returned?

If you are using recent versions of DRF you just need to add pagination_class = None to your ModelViewSet definition. 

class MyClassBasedView(ModelViewSet):
    pagination_class = None
    ...
