How to get all the omim entries in single request

I'm trying to fetch the omim entries by making rest request with following url: http://api.omim.org/api/entry/search?search=*&filter=&fields=&retrieve=&start=0&limit=100&sort=&operator=&include=clinicalSynopsis&include=geneMap&include=dates&retrieve=clinicalSynopsis&retrieve=geneMap&format=json

I've provided start=0 and limit=100 but it is giving me only 20 records. To get next 20 records I need to update start=0 to start=20. But this way it requires many request. Could some one please help me out?

I can't download it as data on omim server might get updated periodically. If I download it, then my data won't be in sync with omim. I need to send the request to omim server periodically to check is there any updated data.
