Odata query to return record count

Question

Sign in to vote

Hey everyone,

I am currently working to check if a contact exists on an an account. I created an Odata call to retrieve this data, but if there are many records it returns them all. Way to much overhead and response time for this to be efficient. Is there a way just to return the count of records associated using Odata?

Thanks,

RDJ

Hi RDJ,

Unfortunately, the $count REST function is not supported by CRM2011. You will need to use fetchxml in conjunction with the SOAP endpoint:
