I am using the following to get posts

http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts

I the max limit on posts is 100 per request.

So I would have to make multiple requests to get all posts.

How can I get the total post count so I know how many requests I have to make?

Thanks.

The response headers include this data:

To determine how many pages of data are available, the API returns two header fields with every paginated response:

  • X-WP-Total: the total number of records in the collection
  • X-WP-TotalPages: the total number of pages encompassing all available records

By inspecting these header fields you can determine how much more data is available within the API.

Try this instead for pagination. It returns all the posts on my site.

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?filter[posts_per_page]=10

filter[category_name]

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?filter[category_name]=country&filter[posts_per_page]=111
