Is it possible to know the total number of libraries in a SharePoint site?

Copper Contributor

Hello All,

I have a site with a number of libraries created, so I was wondering if there is a way I can know the total number of libraries created without scrolling down and manually counting.

 

Thanks.

@Omaphil1890 There is no SharePoint out the box way to get the count of document libraries in site.

 

However, you can use SharePoint REST API (or PowerShell) to get all document libraries like:

 

<your_site_url>/_api/Web/Lists?$filter=BaseTemplate eq 101

 

Or you can use browser find/search like this:

Hopefully it will give you the correct count of document libraries.

@ganeshsanap Thanks for the response.

I was able to search libraries within a SharePoint site but could not use the SharePoint REST API (or PowerShell) code for the fetching of all document libraries. I will appreciate if you can give a step-by-step guide on this.
