import requests

def fetch_paginated_data(url, params=None):
    page = 1
    all_data = []
    while True:
        if params is None:
            params = {}
        params['page'] = page
        response = requests.get(url, params=params)
        data = response.json()

        # Assuming the API returns a `results` key and `next` to check for more pages
        all_data.extend(data['results'])
        if not data['next']:  # No more pages
            break
        page += 1

    return all_data

# Example usage
url = "https://api.example.com/data"
all_results = fetch_paginated_data(url)
print(all_results)
