1440227 - Add count capabilities for list values of a bug in rest api

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1546717

(Bugzilla :: WebService, enhancement)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0
Build ID: 20180208175058

Steps to reproduce:

I used the rest api of Bugzilla for comments:

http://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/core/v1/comment.html#get-comments



Actual results:

I get the whole list of comments


Expected results:

I'd like to have an API to simply get the comments count, because I need this for statistics and I am currently not interested in the contents of the comments.

Would it be possible to provide additional rest endpoints for simply counting comments and also attachments and other list values?

It has already been added to BMO, will be shipped with Bugzilla 6.0.

Hmm, # of attachments is not implemented yet. I can do it in Bug 1546717 which is adding several other numbers.
