I have a list built using web part. I want count of that web part list.

Scenario:

I have List A. Created list B and added web part into it which points to list A.

I want list item count of list B.

I used '/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('list B')/items'. But I am getting 0 as count though there are many items.

I don't want to return count of list A. So is there any approach to get count of web part list?

Code

function GetWebPartPageItems(ListName)
{
$.ajax({  
url:_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl +"/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('List B')?$select=ItemCount",
    type: "GET",  
    headers: {  
        "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",  
        "content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose"  
    },  
async:false,
    success: function(data) {  
        console.log(data.d.results);  
    },  
    error: function(error) {  
        alert(JSON.stringify(error));  
    }  
});  
}

When url is hit in browser,I get resopnse as:

To get the List Item Count using REST API you need to use:

http://sitename/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('List Name')?$select=ItemCount

Where List Name is display name of your list (Not the list name in URL).

For more clarification check my answer given in below link:

SharePoint rest api not bringing items from List

Update:

From Image attached to your question, it seams that the display name of your list is "Pending For Approval". So try using below URL to get the item count:

http://sitename/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Pending For Approval')?$select=ItemCount
