Return the total amount of items in a model for pagination purposes

It would be great in the Content API, to be able to get the total amount of items in the return of the getAll method.

That would allow us to be able to display a very common pagination pattern with numbered pages.

At the moment, we do not know if there is more content to query when limiting a query to X number of items.

    Hi, its 2025 November and still this basic feature is not yet implemented, what kind of stupidity is this? If someone uses your api its basic that you should provide the totalcount of the records to paginate.

    Hi, it is 2025 and still not implemented. Such a basic functionality supported by other CMSes. Bummer.

    This has been requested for a long time on the forums, and is a basic feature of pagination. Low effort win here.

    This is a big issue for us, which seems on the surface as a relatively minor feature to add!

    Lower effort, big win?

    Builder dev team, any chances to implement that anytime soon?

    Really important feature to be able to build full pagination components when having lot of content on a data model.
