Answer a COUNTING question about the published firm directory in one call: how many organisations per country, per kind, per declared SAP module, or per SAP signal band — with the same country/kind/module/query filters search_firms takes, so you can count a slice as easily as the whole. Use this instead of paging search_firms and tallying rows: the directory holds thousands of organisations, and reading them all to produce a table of counts costs hundreds of calls and megabytes of rows for numbers Postgres computes in one scan. Every bucket is a value the directory actually stores; value: null is a real bucket meaning the field is unknown for those rows, and it is served rather than hidden — a country table that silently drops the rows with no country adds up to less than the population and says nothing about it.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| by | string | yes | Which facet to count on. Required — there is no default worth guessing. |
| query | string | no | Free-text filter, case-insensitive. EVERY word must appear in the record (substring per word, any order), so a natural-language phrase narrows the answer instead of having to match verbatim. |
| country | string | no | ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code, e.g. DE, FR, CH. |
| kind | string | no | Restrict to one organisation kind before counting, same vocabulary as search_firms. Combining it with `by:"kind"` is legal and returns that single bucket. |
| module | string | no | Restrict to organisations with a DECLARED link to one SAP module code before counting, same vocabulary as search_firms' `module`. Combining it with `by:"module"` is legal and returns that single bucket (plus the null bucket). |
