 If a list of items is paginated by the API, you must request pages individually. For example, to fetch all Droplets:
 
 ```go
-func DropletList(client *godo.Client) ([]godo.Droplet, error) {
+func DropletList(ctx context.Context, client *godo.Client) ([]godo.Droplet, error) {
     // create a list to hold our droplets

     // create options. initially, these will be blank
