title: Strongloop API GET request does not return item/record count
body: <p>I am new to strongloop api, but I have some experience in using other apis.
  While using strongloop api for building pagination feature, I came to know that <strong>strongloop api does not return total records in result, neither in response body nor in headers</strong></p>
  
  <p>I was looking for functionality similar to this.
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3715981/whats-the-best-restful-method-to-return-total-number-of-items-in-an-object">What’s the best RESTful method to return total number of items in an object?</a></p>
  
  <p>My question is
  <strong>Is there any other way of achieving same using strongloop api?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have checked the strongloop api and stackoverflow questions, but didnt get
  satisfactory results.</p>
  
  <p>I think this is very basic functionality, it must have been implemented there. Any suggestions would help. Thanks</p>
