is there a way to get the number of result get from a request ?

[veron hugo]

i want to create an app that would build some graphics automatically, and instead of counting the number of result i get, i would like to retrieve directly the number of result.

i didn't find anything in the JQL doc about it

Hello,

If you want to know the number of result, then you should get the result and count it. There is no other way.

JQL is for getting a list of issues that match a question.  It's up to the reporting or display of these to compile any output you need from it.
