# Count Records
Rather than retrieve a possibly gigantic list of records and count them, [search\_count()](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer/reference/backend/orm.html?highlight=search_count#odoo.models.Model.search_count) can be used to retrieve only the number of records matching the query. It takes the same [domain](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer/reference/backend/orm.html?highlight=search_count#reference-orm-domains) filter as [search()](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/developer/reference/backend/orm.html#odoo.models.Model.search) and no other parameter.
**Warning**
calling `restapi/1.0/object/{object_name}/search` then `restapi/1.0/object/{object_name}/search_count` (or the other way around) may not yield coherent results if other users are using the server: stored data could have changed between the calls
