Feature: Real totals for include_totals
Description: Recently we found out that the relatively new feature of https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/users/get-logs-by-user will never return a real “total” but only ever return a “page total”. It was also confirmed to us that this would be the new behavior for all totals in v3 of the management api. We would like to request that real totals will be added back as pagination based on pages should always know how many items there are in total. Only cursor based pagination does not need to know what the last item is.
For us, the include_totals option becomes useless with this change as we can literally count the items of the current page. Please add back the real total value of all items on all pages of the current request.
Use-case: We are building a self-service user management for our b2b customers on top of auth0. This also includes logs of the users so that the Admin of any customer can see their users latest activity. Without real totals, we can not display a good pagination to the admin but must rely on a “load more” approach which reduces usability as the admin can not “jump” to an approximate point in the logs but must “load more” until he reaches the same point.
It is also valuable just on a glance to know how much activity the user had (by looking at the page count of activities)
Also if this really will be the new norm in v3, how are we supposed to paginate through all users/organizations in the future. Are we not allowed to know how many there are?
