Item count(*) for a player's inventory V2

Hi,

Is there a recommended way to count the total items a player has in her inventory to calculate the total inventory pages to show in a game item collection UI?

Thanks!

The Economy API design favors large collections and uses the Continuation Token pattern instead of a paging pattern. UX that "Loads More" or progressively loads while scrolling often works better with larger sets of data.

There is no way to get the total count of items in an inventory collection without fully loading the whole thing.
