OData Query error: The query specified in the URI is not valid. The limit of '0' for Top query has been exceeded. The value from the incoming request is '100'
After configuration my OData service, I tried to do a first call by using a $top parameter to get the first 100 results. However this didn’t turned out to a big success. Instead of some data, I got the following error message back:
{"error":{"code":"","message":"The query specified in the URI is not valid. The limit of '0' for Top query has been exceeded. The value from the incoming request is '100'.","innererror":{"message":"The limit of '0' for Top query has been exceeded.

Since Web API OData V6.0.0
you need to explicitly enable query options. This can be done globally in the WebApiConfig.Register(HttpConfiguration config):
