Is there any way I can get only count of the data in response payload without any value array?
I am using ODataV4.0 with Webapi 2.2.
Currently it returns all the values and count when I query something like:
http://odata/People?$count=true
I just need something like "@odata.count":1, "value":[]
or without "value"
.
Is the only way to have function for this job?
Set the $top
to zero and $count
to true
.
For example: http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers?$count=true&$top=0
returns the count but no results
{
"@odata.context": "http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/$metadata#Customers",
"@odata.count": 91,
"value": []
}
Count is calculated after applying the $filter
, but without factoring in $top
and $skip
.
informs you that there are 11 results where the Country is 'Germany', but without returning any records in the response.
