[[search-count]]
=== Count API
Gets the number of matches for a search query.
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
GET /twitter/_count?q=user:kimchy
--------------------------------------------------
// TEST[setup:twitter]
NOTE: The query being sent in the body must be nested in a `query` key, same as
the <<search-search,search api>> works.
[[search-count-api-request]]
==== {api-request-title}
`GET /<target>/_count`
[[search-count-api-desc]]
==== {api-description-title}
The count API allows you to execute a query and get the number of matches for
that query. The query can either
be provided using a simple query string as a parameter, or using the
<<query-dsl,Query DSL>> defined within the request body.
The count API supports <<multi-index,multi-target syntax>>. You can run a single
count API search across multiple data streams and indices.
The operation is broadcast across all shards. For each shard id group, a replica
is chosen and executed against it. This means that replicas increase the
scalability of count.
[[search-count-api-path-params]]
==== {api-path-parms-title}
`<target>`::
(Optional, string)
Comma-separated list of data streams, indices, and index aliases to search.
Wildcard (`*`) expressions are supported.
+
To search all data streams and indices in a cluster, omit this parameter or use
`_all` or `*`.
[[search-count-api-query-params]]
==== {api-query-parms-title}
include::{es-repo-dir}/rest-api/common-parms.asciidoc[tag=allow-no-indices]

Defaults to `true`.

==== {api-examples-title}
[source,console]
--------------------------------------------------
PUT /twitter/_doc/1?refresh
{
"user": "kimchy"
}
GET /twitter/_count?q=user:kimchy
GET /twitter/_count
{
"query" : {
"term" : { "user" : "kimchy" }
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
Both examples above do the same: count the number of tweets from the `twitter`
index for a certain user. The API returns the following response:
[source,console-result]
--------------------------------------------------
{
"count": 1,
"_shards": {
"total": 1,
"successful": 1,
"skipped": 0,
"failed": 0
}
}
--------------------------------------------------
The query is optional, and when not provided, it will use `match_all` to
count all the docs.
