Our count feature is an alternative way for testing API search request. You can set your num_records to 0 in your property search query. This is will only return the num_found of the query and will cost 0 credits to search. Lastly you are not charged property data credits for this. Try it out

{
  "query": "country:US",
  "num_records":0
}

Expected response:

{
    "num_found": 228865703
}

From this result we can tell that we have a total of 228865703 with the search parameters. This knowledge is great for testing your query syntax, seeing expect results before pulling real data, or sanity checking value from previous searches.
