url is used to get continued or paginated data from the API. Queries with long results return a reference to the next sete. Example -

next: 'https://api.robinhood.com/orders/?cursor=cD0yMD82LTA0LTAzKzkwJVNCNTclM0ExNC45MzYyKDYlMkIwoCUzqtAW' }

The url returned can be passed to the url method to continue getting the next set of results.
