How to get issue count using JQL in jira?

[Antoine Grenard]

Hi guys, 

I have Service Desk deployed in my company and I would like to know how can I count the number of issue resulting from a JQL request using the JIRA Service Desk API.

Or at least get all the issue resulting from a JQL request.

Thanks

@Antoine Grenard, this is easy, when you fire a search request (GET /search/) then in the top level of the response JSON is a value called "total". That's the counter.
