I'm thinking we could reconsider the return value for objects.search at this point (i.e. just return the resultset and let the controller call ->to_api). It feels it would be more consistent too. Nice one!

In my case, I’m improving how my Keycloak User Storage extension works with Koha. It fetches the count of users and then sends an API request using an offset and that count to handle the paging. Their internal API breaks it into 2 steps, so I have to hit the database twice anyway.

Hi all,
Is there a method for getting a “count” using the REST API without fetching every record?
When building a paging lookup outside of Koha, it would be useful to get a total record count and then just fetch the page of records that you need.
Thanks!
