Getting total collection entries for pagination component

I’m working on a pagination component and need to know the total number of entries in a collection for a given request.
Thanks in advance

add limit and skip parameter to your query:

/api/content/items/{model}?limit=20&skip=0

then you’ll get the following structure back:

{
  "data": [
    // list of items...
  ],
  "meta": {
    "total": 300
  }
}

Thanks for your quick reply!
