Hi there,
I would either create a custom endpoint that has a small count function as callback for this or maybe make use of the legacy API:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/#section-4 + https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/v3.html#view-products-count
Kind regards,
Hi Con,
Thankyou very much for this information – it works just fine.
What will happen when the Legacy API is switched off? Will there be an equivalent in the current version API? is that on the roadmap, or is there an equivalent one I can use now?
Cheers,
Greg

Sweet. 👍

Switching off the legacy API will also switch off the endpoint and count function. I haven’t done research on why or where the endpoint has dissipated. I only know that there is no equivalent in the current API.
I think you will need a custom endpoint if the Legacy API is switched off.
Kind regards,
Hi Con,
Thanks for the update again.
I did see on some page that the initial response from the server when making the API call to the products area will have some information in it that includes the count in the text – and this is with the new API. Do you think I can find that article again!? lol.
Also, not necessarily a question for here, but the custom endpoint you refer to in order to achieve this is a WooCommerce-side right? Is this something a free-lance developer can add to WooCommerce, or would WooCommerce themselves have to?
Thats how I understand it anyway.
Cheers,
Greg
Hi @greghains,

This is something that a free-lance developer would be able to help with. We have a list of services that you can reach out to on our Customizations page.
Hey @greghains
Not sure if you’ve managed to do it now but I’ve just encountered the same problem.
the initial response from the server when making the API call to the products area will have some information in it that includes the count in the text
The response header does contain the total product count and the total number of pages, presumably based on the per_page you specify. Don’t know what you’re using but I’m using the api through node and the below extracts the product count and page count from the initial response.
var response = await wooApi.get("products", { 'per_page': 100 });
var productCount = response.headers['x-wp-total'];
var pageCount = response.headers['x-wp-totalpages'];
console.log(<code>products: ${productCount}, pages: ${pageCount}</code>);
