04:00 PMWhen doing a search on a collection does it return the total pages. For example if I have 42 documents found and I have 20 per page it would be 3 pages in total. Does the api return this value? or do you have to calculate this youself? LMK thanks

04:02 PMThe search API returns a
found parameter which is the total number of results founds. Using that, and the per_page parameter (which defaults to 10) you should be able to calculate the total number of pagesShawn

04:03 PMYeah that's what I am doing now. It would be nice if the api just provide that value.
