# CAT count
|
|
Introduced 1.0
|
|
{: .label .label-purple }
|
|
|
|
The CAT count operation lists the number of documents in your cluster.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET _cat/count?v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To see the number of documents in a specific index or alias, add the index or alias name after your query:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET _cat/count/<index_or_alias>?v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to get information for more than one index or alias, separate the index or alias names with commas:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
GET _cat/aliases/index_or_alias_1,index_or_alias_2,index_or_alias_3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
