Filtered response does not show total records in response of REST APIs in Magento 2

Question

I am using GET V1/products endpoint to fetch product list. I want to fetch sku and name only.

http://localhost/magento/rest/default/V1/products?searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][direction]=ASC&currencyCode=USD&searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[pageSize]=10&fields=items[name,sku]

response

{
"items": [
    {
        "sku": "5245",
        "name": "Test Product"
    },
    {
        "sku": "product 1",
        "name": "product 1"
    },
    {
        "sku": "product 2",
        "name": "product 2"
    },
  ]
}

I am not getting total number of records in this response. I checked it on devdocs as well. It also has same type of response, please find link below.

Please help if anyone already faced this and solved it.

Answer 1

Ok I found the solution, I checked some core files of catalog module and I can see that search criteria and total records are not in items index so I just need to update my request like below.

http://localhost/magento/rest/default/V1/products?searchCriteria[sortOrders][0][direction]=ASC&currencyCode=USD&searchCriteria[currentPage]=1&searchCriteria[pageSize]=10&fields=items[name,sku],total_count

I hope it'll help others, Happy Coding :)

Answer 2

You need to select total count too to fetch it. Add total_count at the end of your request like this:

REQUEST,total_count
