I need a push on a very precise subject. I have a fetch function to get results from a WordPress blog.

 function getTags() {

    let page = 1,
    tagURL = `https://css-tricks.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed&per_page=4&tags=833&page=1`;
    console.log(tagURL)

    $loader.style.display = "block";
    fetch(tagURL)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(dataTag => {
        dataTag.map(dataTag => {

        // Content

    })
    .catch(err => {
        console.log(err);
        let message = err.statusText || "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten...";
        $posts.innerHTML = `<p>Error ${err.status}: ${message}</p>`;
        $loader.style.display = "none";
    });

 }

I need to create a pagination that shows 4 posts per page, but I can’t find the right way to do it.
If someone from the community can guide me, please, I would be very grateful.

Greetings and thanks.

<–UPDATE–>

the complete code is as follows

const
    $posts = document.getElementById('posts'),
    $loader = document.querySelector('.loader'),
    $template = document.getElementById("post-template").content


    function getTags() {
    let tagURL = `https://w-api.cyberconcept.de/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed&per_page=2&tags=35&page=1`;
    $loader.style.display = "block";
    fetch(tagURL)
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(dataTag => {
            dataTag.forEach(dataTag => {

                /**
                 * At this point a custom URL is created for each post-card element.
                 * @type {Element}
                 */
                const postLink = $template.querySelectorAll('.post-link');
                let url = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname;
                url = url + "?post_id=" + dataTag.id;

                postLink[0].setAttribute('href', url);
                postLink[1].setAttribute('href', url);
                /**
                 * Posts tags loop and post Tag url
                 * @type {string}
                 */
                let tags = "";
                const TagsUrl = window.location.origin + window.location.pathname
                dataTag._embedded["wp:term"][1].forEach(

                        tags += `<a href="${url}" class="tag is-background-gradientDark">${dataTag.name}</a>`
                    }
                );

Try this :
You need to increased page variable and call function getTags

function getTags(page) {


let tagURL = 'https://css-tricks.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed&per_page=4&tags=833&page='+page;
console.log(tagURL);

$loader.style.display = "block";
fetch(tagURL)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(dataTag => {
    dataTag.map(dataTag => {

    // Content
 

 

})
.catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
    let message = err.statusText || "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten...";
    $posts.innerHTML = `<p>Error ${err.status}: ${message}</p>`;
    $loader.style.display = "none";
});

 }

I have increaed variable value page after ajax response.

you just need to rewrite the wrapper

let totalPages = 0,
  pageNumber = document.querySelector('#pageNumber')
getTags(1)

function getTags(page) {
  let tagURL = `https://css-tricks.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed&per_page=4&tags=833&page=${page}`;
  console.log(tagURL)

  //$loader.style.display = "block";
  fetch(tagURL)
    .then(async (response) => {
      let dataTag = await response.json() // get json

      totalPages = response.headers.get('x-wp-totalpages')
      if (!pageNumber.textContent) {
        createPage(); // create page number
      }

      // on response received, empty it
      document.querySelector('#content').innerHTML = '' 
      dataTag.forEach(data => { // not map
        document.querySelector('#content').innerHTML += `<li>${data.title.rendered}</<li>`
      })

    }).catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
      let message = err.statusText || "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten...";
      $posts.innerHTML = `<p>Error ${err.status}: ${message}</p>`;
      $loader.style.display = "none";
    });
}

function createPage() {
  for (var i = 0; i < totalPages; i++) {

    let li = document.createElement('li')
    li.textContent = i + 1
    li.onclick = function() {
      getTags(this.textContent)
    }
    pageNumber.appendChild(li)
  }
}

#pageNumber li{float: left;border: 1px solid #bbb;list-style: none;padding: 5px;cursor: pointer;}

<div id="content"></div>
<div id="pageNumber"></div>
