# Count local resources

`POST /tools/count-resources`

This URI can be used to count the resources that are matching criteria on the content of the local Orthanc server, in a way that is similar to tools/find

## Request body

  - `Full` boolean — If set to `true`, report the DICOM tags in full format (tags indexed by their hexadecimal format, associated with their symbolic name and their value)
  - `Labels` string[] — List of strings specifying which labels to look for in the resources (new in Orthanc 1.12.0)
