Getting total count of current streams is not possible?

Which package/packages do you use?

• @stream-io/video-react-sdk
• @stream-io/video-react-native-sdk
• @stream-io/video-client

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to show a list of the live audio streams where I am able to get the list of current streams with queryCall, great. But I was expecting to have a "meta" field in the response that shows how many streams are there so that I can inform my users there are more streams and show a button to them, like "See all streams".

Describe the solution you'd like
When limit parameter has passed into queryCall function, we should get a totalCount or "meta" field that has totalCount etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no clear information regarding this use case. I looked at how can I get the total count of streams, it seems there is no such functionality. Or maybe I just couldn't find it.

Also I tried to fetch the next page using "next" field package provide, but it seems I get an error because I try to fetch two page at the same time. (current and next page)

hi @ugurkellecioglu, can you please help me understand the question better?
If I'm understanding correctly, you are asking how to get the total number of ongoing live streams, right?

For querying ongoing live streams, please take a look at the following docs:

• https://getstream.io/video/docs/react/guides/querying-calls/#calls-that-live--currently-have-participants

Hi @oliverlaz, thanks.

If I'm understanding correctly, you are asking how to get the total number of ongoing live streams, right?

That's correct. Currently there is no way to get that piece of information without querying for all ongoing streams.

To make it even more clear, here is a psuode code

await client.queryCalls({
 filter_conditions: {
    ongoing: true
  },
  limit: 3
})

returns 3 stream data and a "next" field. (let's say we have 6 ongoing streams. )

What I'd like to see as response

calls: [3 stream data],
meta:{
     next: nextPageCursor,
     total: 6 // total number of counts
}

or since "next" field is already in same level with "calls", response might look like this so that current api is not going to be broken with this update:

calls: [3 stream data],
next: nextPageCursor,
total: 6

Hi @oliverlaz , do you think you can take a look at this one? I'm also OK to contribute to the project if you can give a direction to me, thx!

Hi @ugurkellecioglu, I have already forwarded this feedback to our backend team. Without them extending the API first, I'm afraid I can't do much here.
I'll get back to you once I know more.

hi @ugurkellecioglu, this feature is now moved to the board of our backend team.
I'm going to close this issue as it isn't exactly an SDK issue.
