# Count websites

GET https://api.modulards.com/api/public/v1/sites/count

Returns how many websites match the filters, without listing them. Use it to size a selection, for example how many websites carry a tag or run a given PHP version, before you act on it.

It accepts the same filters as "List websites". Only `filter` is accepted: `sort`, `page`, `fields` and `include` answer `422`.
