Using the Okta API and .Net SDK

I'm working with the Okta API and trying to understand a couple of things:

  1. How do you get a count of members. For example, how do I get a count of groups defined, or the count of users assigned to a group. The admin tool seems to do this easily enough, but I need to do this in another tool I'm working on.

I can iterate through the pages until I get to the last page, incrementing a counter as I go along, but this is very slow, especially when trying to get the number of groups defined for my subdomain, or other similarly high-numbered value.

  1. How do filters and filterbuilders work? The basics are pretty simple, but the filter syntax doesn't seem to be defined anywhere.

Thanks!

AFAIK the only way to get a count is by getting all users/groups and subsequently the count. There is no API call to get a summary. Basic, but works.

Check the Okta API docs at http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#user-model for the user model. You will get a collection of those JSON objects when you list the users - http://developer.okta.com/docs/api/resources/users.html#list-users

Call this last API and count the instances that you get back in the JSON collection.
