# Count documents of a library

> You can count the number of documents associated with a particular library (and optionally class) as follows.

<Note>
  **Note:**

  This is available only to library administrators.
</Note>

## **Method and API**

Play with the API Explorer:

<Card title="POST /search/v1/libraries/\{libraryId\}/count" icon="list" horizontal href="/api-reference/search" />

## **Usage/notes/guidelines**

### **Request**

`libraryId` is a path parameter. It is the only mandatory parameter. However, using the `classId` helps narrow the response to documents of a specific class you want.

<RequestExample>
  ```yaml Sample request theme={null}
  POST https://aodocs.altirnao.com/api/search/v1/libraries/RrVcEFb8wtDeNAnlmNN/count?classId=RrVcdN280MKJwPyE7sh
  ```
</RequestExample>

## Response

The response returns an [ApiDocumentCount](/api-reference/search) resource, giving a count of all documents associated with the specified library (and class if you specified the `classId`).

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Sample Response theme={null}
  {
    "kind": "aodocs#documentCount",
    "count": 12
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>
