Maybe I'm just missing it, but it there someplace I can get this value or will I need to count them? Just want to display as part of a support screen...

Use system.tag.browse

[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.browse](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.tag.browse)

You can use name=\* then do a len(data) on the return from that method. You and mess with the wildcards to get tag counts from different sections of your tag providers.

Assuming you are on version 8.1.19 or higher, I would use the tag report tool.  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Tag+Report+Tool](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Tag+Report+Tool)

Example script the tag report tool can generate for you, then get the length as @kyler.kamyszek stated,

```auto
provider = 'YourTagProvider'

query = {
  "options": {
    "includeUdtMembers": True,
    "includeUdtDefinitions": False
  },
  "condition": {
    "attributes": {
      "values": [],
      "requireAll": True
    }
  },
  "returnProperties": [
    "tagType",
    "quality"
  ]
}

results = system.tag.query(provider, query)
print len(results)

```

Thanks y'all. (Good Texas term)

Was just thinking they may have them stored somewhere I couldn't find. Appreciate the assist!
