Count

    The count API gives you quick access to the number of documents that match a query. You can also use it to check the document count of an index, data stream, or cluster.

    To see the number of documents that match a query:

    2. {
    3.   "query": {
    4.       "response": "200"
    5.     }
    6.   },
    7.   "size": 0,
    8.   "track_total_hits": true
    9. }

    To see the number of documents in an index:

    To check for the number of documents in a data stream, replace the index name with the data stream name.

    Alternatively, you could use the and cat count APIs to see the number of documents per index or data stream.

    All count parameters are optional.
