Record Count

This resource is available in REST API version 40.0 and later for API users with the “View Setup and Configuration” permission. The returned record count is a cached snapshot in time that may not accurately represent the number of records in the object at the time of the request.

The record count value is updated automatically at variable time intervals, and there are no fixed schedules for these updates. It doesn’t include the following types of records:

• Deleted records in the recycle bin
• Archived records
• Associated objects such as ChangeEvent, Feed, History, OwnerSharingRule, and Share objects

To get an accurate count, use the SOQL query SELECT count() FROM sObject. Results are limited to records visible to the user executing the query.
