You could make your life a lot easier and just use a ListView. By overriding render_to_response you can make it output json instead of HTML. It does all the pagination for you.

from django.core import serializers
from django.views.generic import ListView

class MyListView(JSONResponseMixin, ListView):
    model = models.BaseItem    
    paginate_by = 10  

    def render_to_response(self, context):
        return JsonResponse(
            serializers.serialize("json", context),
            **response_kwargs
        )
