title: Counting Records in Azure Table Storage (Year: 2017)
body: <p>We have a table in Azure Table Storage that is storing a LOT of data in it (IoT stuff). We are attempting a simple migration away from Azure Tables Storage to our own data services.</p>
  
  <p>I'm hoping to get a rough idea of how much data we are migrating exactly. 
  EG: 2,000,000 records for IoT device #1234. </p>
  
  <p>The problem I am facing is in getting a count of all the records that are present in the table with some constrains (EG: Count all records pertaining to one IoT device #1234 etc etc).</p>
  
  <p>I did some fair amount of research to find posts that say that this count feature is not implemented in the ATS. These posts however, were circa 2010 to 2014.</p>
  
  <p>I'm assumed (hoped) that this feature has been implemented now since it's now 2017 and I'm trying to find docs to it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using python to interact with out ATS.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone please post the link to the docs here that show how I can get the count of records using python (or even HTTP / rest etc)?</p>
  
  <p>Or if someone knows for sure that this feature is still unavailable, that would help me move on as well and figure another way to go about things!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
