Add a new field in the API to return number of pages

It would be incredibly handy if the API had a new field which returns the number of pages to expect based on the value in the limit parameter.

For example:

Currently I can issue a query like this:

query Boards {
    boards(ids: 1234567890) {
        items_page(limit: 50) {
            cursor
            items {
                id
                name
                column_values {
                    text
                    column {
                        title
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The cursor value will be returned in the cursor field and I have specified a limit of 50 records in the page.

query Boards {
    boards(ids: 1234567890) {
        items_page(limit: 50) {
            cursor
            cursor_pages
            items {
                id
                name
                column_values {
                    text
                    column {
                        title
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

I am proposing a new field called cursor_pages which would return the number of pages based on the value of the limit parameter. So if my board has 1200 rows and I have set my limit at 50 rows then cursor_pages would return 24.

This would help with looping logic (specially in Power BI) so that the the loop can be fed the number of times to call next_items_page.

I concur with @hbouk.

I don’t see a way to get the number of items/pages before loading them with the API>=2023.10
