How to get only Odata.Count without value

Question

Is there any way I can get only count of the data in response payload without any value array?

I am using ODataV4.0 with Webapi 2.2. Currently it returns all the value

Answer 1

You can also append $count as a path element to just get a raw count, E.G.,

https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers/$count

This will also work with filters, etc, applied: https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Customers/$count?$filter=Country%20eq%20%27Germany%27

For a count of Customers in Germany.
