How to get total number of record count using OData RESTquery?

Posted on by Vijay Waghmare

I am looking for a way to get total number of record count resulted for filter criteria. Looking for a supported way of doing it since $count and $inlinecount treated as unsupported.

Thanks,

Vijay Waghmare

    If you need to use REST you would have to page through all the records to get the count: Sample: Retrieve Multiple Records Using the REST Endpoint with JavaScript

    Otherwise use FetchXML/SOAP to get the count using only one request: Use FetchXML Aggregation

    If you have to use REST the paging route is really the only option, like you've noted getting a aggregate count is just not enabled.

    Page through all records will not be feasible since filter can result N number of records. I wanted to get filtered data ( 5 or10 records at a time) as well as possible number of resulted records to generate pagination.

    With fetchxml it will return me only count and not data. To get data I again need to fire query.

    Looking for something we have in QueryExpression like “ReturnTotalRecordCount” but I guess this is not possible with ODATA or FetchXML.

    To work around I choose to use $skip and $top with prev and next link.

    Thanks,
