If the requested (parent) resource is not found, the server returns a 404 Error status code.

inlinecount query option

The $inlinecount option controls the __count property's value that can be found in every collection response. Its valid values are: allpages and none (other value causes an error, default value is none).

allpages: count of the whole set (filter, top, skip options are ignored) none: result shows the actual count of items (__count property is not hidden)
