#### _ **Product/components** used and **version/fix** level:_
Cumulocity 10.17
#### _Detailed explanation of the problem:_
I’m looking for a way to query and get a count of total devices in a subtenancy. I know I can query inventory/managedObjects?fragmentType=c8y\_IsDevice&withTotalPages=True&pageSize=100 and get the totalPages, navigate to pageNumber= in the query string and iterate through and count the devices in that page and then multiply the pagesize \* (totalPages-1) + devices counted in the last page. but that seems really fiddly and wonder if there’s a parameter to the inventory to merely return a count.
I didn’t see anything in [https://cumulocity.com/api/core/10.17.0/#tag/Managed-objects](https://cumulocity.com/api/core/10.17.0/#tag/Managed-objects)
#### _Error messages / **full error** message screenshot / **log** file:_

Hi,
you can add `withTotalElements=true` to your query. Then your response will contain a `statistics.totalElements` field then:
```json
{
"managedObjects": [
{ ... }, { ... }, { ... }, { ... }, { ... }
],
"next": "https://examples.cumulocity.com/inventory/managedObjects?withTotalElements=true&pageSize=5&fragmentType=c8y_IsDevice¤tPage=2",
"self": "https://examples.cumulocity.com/inventory/managedObjects?withTotalElements=true&pageSize=5&fragmentType=c8y_IsDevice¤tPage=1",
"statistics": {
"currentPage": 1,
"pageSize": 5,
"totalElements": 83245 <= total count of query results
}
}
```
It’s listed as API parameter for the [retrieve all managed objects](https://cumulocity.com/api/core/10.17.0/#operation/getManagedObjectCollectionResource) endpoint.
Alternatively, if it’s just about the count, you could set your pageSize to 1 so that totalPages=totalCount. Also, when stating withTotalPages the pageSize shouldbe part of the statistics fragment - so you wouldn’t need to extract that from the URL. But I think `withTotalElements` is the parameter you’re looking for.

Ah, there it is! Yes, I find it now. Thanks for pointing that out!

You could also do pageSize=1 - the the returned totalPages indicates the number of devices.
