WP REST API not retrieving all categories

Question

I am developing a project that is using the WP REST API. After some tests, I realized that it's not retrieving all the categories based on what I am trying to GET. In precise, there are supposed to be 21 results but only 10 come up. Is there some kind of restriction that I am not seeing? Any settings that I'll have to change.
Here is what I am trying:
https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/categories?parent=97
TIA

As documented, the default number if results returned "per page" is 10. So you need to set per_page to however many you want to retrieve:
https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/categories?per_page=30
