Django-rest pagination with corner

Question

I have an angularjs application that works fine with django-rest but gets into trouble by introducing pagination. I have a service and controller as shown below.

// restservices.js
// API call for all images in an event
services.factory('ImageEvent', function ($resource) {
    return $resource(rest_api + '/rest/image/?event_id=:eventId&format=json', {}, {
        query: { method:'GET', params:{eventId:''}, isArray:true}
    })
}); 

// controllers.js
// all Images in an event
.controller('ImageEventCtrl', ['$scope', '$stateParams', 'ImageEvent', function($scope, $stateParams, ImageEvent) {
  $scope.images = ImageEvent.query({eventId: $stateParams.eventId}, function(images) {
  });
}])

returns next json

[
    {
        "id": 13,
        "title": "01-IMG_4953.JPG",
    },
    {
        "id": 14,
        "title": "02-IMG_4975.JPG",
    },
    {
        "id": 15,
        "title": "03-IMG_4997.JPG",
    }
]

However, if I turn on django-rest pagination, it returns the following json:

{

    "count": 3,
    "next": "/rest/image/?event_id=1&page=2",
    "previous": null,
    "results": 
    [

        {
            "id": 13,
            "title": "01-IMG_4953.JPG",
        },
        {
            "id": 14,
            "title": "02-IMG_4975.JPG",
        }
    ]

}

This change caused the following console error, and it did not work:

Error: [$ resource: badcfg] Error configuring resources. The expected response contains an array, but received an object

Changing the rests service for isArray: false is irrelevant. Can my controller be rewritten to deal with this, and in an ideal world also output the score, the next and previous links?

Angular -ui , Django Rest Framework.

if request.GET.get('page'):   
    # Get the page number

    per_page = data['admin_attrs']['list_per_page']        


    begin = (int(page) - 1) * per_page                     
    end = begin + per_page
