[[count]]
== Count API

The count API is very similar to the
{java}/count.html[Java count API]. The Groovy
extension allows to provide the query to execute as a `Closure` (similar
to GORM criteria builder):

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
def count = client.count {
    indices "test"
    types "type1"
    query {
        term {
            test = "value"
        }
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------

The query follows the same {ref}/query-dsl.html[Query DSL].
