Headers 

For some types of REST API requests, you can retrieve additional information like the total number of records, the number of affected records, etc. To do this, use the X-Include request header. The value of this header should contain keys separated by a semicolon (;).

The following example shows how to get the total number of accounts:

curl "http://orocrm.loc/index_dev.php/api/accounts?page=1&limit=2" -v --header="X-Include:totalCount" --header="X-WSSE:..."

The corresponding response:

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
< X-Include-Total-Count: 67
...

Hint

To generate a WSSE header, run: php bin/console oro:wsse:generate-header YOUR_API_KEY.

Existing X-Include Keys 

The following table describes all existing keys for the X-Include header.

Add New X-Include Key 

To add a custom key to the X-Include header:

  1. Create a processor to handle your key:

    namespace Oro\Bundle\ApiBundle\Processor\DeleteList;
    
    use Oro\Component\ChainProcessor\ContextInterface;
    use Oro\Component\ChainProcessor\ProcessorInterface;
    use Oro\Bundle\ApiBundle\Processor\Context;
    
    /**
     * Calculates and sets the total number of deleted records to the "X-Include-Deleted-Count" response header,
     * in case it was requested by the "X-Include: deletedCount" request header.
     */
    class SetDeletedCountHeader implements ProcessorInterface
    {
        public const RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME = 'X-Include-Deleted-Count';
        public const REQUEST_HEADER_VALUE = 'deletedCount';
    
        /**
         * {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public function process(ContextInterface $context): void
        {
            /** @var DeleteListContext $context */
    
            if ($context->getResponseHeaders()->has(self::RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME)) {
                // the deleted records count header is already set
                return;
            }
    
            $xInclude = $context->getRequestHeaders()->get(Context::INCLUDE_HEADER);
            if (empty($xInclude) || !in_array(self::REQUEST_HEADER_VALUE, $xInclude, true)) {
                // the deleted records count is not requested
                return;
            }
    
            $result = $context->getResult();
            if (null !== $result && is_array($result)) {
                $context->getResponseHeaders()->set(self::RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME, count($result));
            }
        }
    }
    
    oro_api.delete_list.set_deleted_count_header:
        class: Oro\Bundle\ApiBundle\Processor\DeleteList\SetDeletedCountHeader
        tags:
            - { name: oro.api.processor, action: delete_list, group: delete_data, priority: -10 }
    
  2. Create a processor to remove your response header when an error occurs:

namespace Oro\Bundle\ApiBundle\Processor\DeleteList;

use Oro\Component\ChainProcessor\ContextInterface;
use Oro\Component\ChainProcessor\ProcessorInterface;

/**
 * Removes the "X-Include-Deleted-Count" response header if any error occurs.
 */
class RemoveDeletedCountHeader implements ProcessorInterface
{
    /**
     * {@inheritDoc}
     */
    public function process(ContextInterface $context): void
    {
        /** @var DeleteListContext $context */

        if ($context->hasErrors()
            && $context->getResponseHeaders()->has(SetDeletedCountHeader::RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME)
        ) {
            $context->getResponseHeaders()->remove(SetDeletedCountHeader::RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME);
        }
    }
}
oro_api.delete_list.remove_deleted_count_header:
    class: Oro\Bundle\ApiBundle\Processor\DeleteList\RemoveDeletedCountHeader
    tags:
        - { name: oro.api.processor, action: delete_list, group: normalize_result, priority: 100 }
