We/I choose the Keyset/Cursor Pagination, because it is know as best practice at the moment and quite robust. (Good overview about that: https://nordicapis.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-api-pagination/ and https://ignaciochiazzo.medium.com/paginating-requests-in-apis-d4883d4c1c4c)
I can implement offset pagination. But I also can give you the option to directly jump to a page, like ?page=5&limit=100. I think this looks better, especially for the users (as I concluded, from what you said, it is also for the user, that they can copy a link with the page information). If the page does not exist, it will show the last page of the request.
Would the page solution suits you?

Yes, this sounds good to me.

Sorry for the delay. It is done for 0.2 and 0.3.
Usage ?page=5, then you come to the page 5 of the given query. If you use last and first with page, page will overwrite first and last. It is usable together with limit. Remember, limit is by default 20.
