Scrappa's GET /api/boligportal/count returns how many BoligPortal rentals match the same filters as search, without loading the homes.
Exactness
The count comes from BoligPortal. When you filter by rooms, BoligPortal rounds half rooms, so the count can include homes that search then drops; meta.count_exact is false in that case. Without a rooms filter it is exact.
Filters
All search filters except order and page. Unknown parameters are rejected with 422.

Errors
Handle these documented responses before retrying or showing customer-facing failures.
Unknown Location
The `location` is not a BoligPortal city (`unknown_location`). BoligPortal would answer an unknown city with zero results, so the request is rejected with up to five suggestions. Non-billable.
{
"meta": {
"attempts": 0,
"billable": false
},
"error": {
"code": "unknown_location",
"message": "The location is not a known BoligPortal city. Use one of the suggestions.",
"suggestions": [
"aarhus"
]
},
"success": false
}Validation Error
A query parameter is missing, unknown or unusable. Unknown parameters are rejected, never ignored. Sale, bathroom and agency filters do not exist. Non-billable.
{
"errors": {
"order": [
"The selected order is invalid."
]
},
"message": "The order field must be one of DEFAULT, RENT_ASC, RENT_DESC, SIZE_M2_DESC, SIZE_M2_ASC."
}Upstream Unavailable
BoligPortal could not be reached after retries, blocked the request, returned another page than asked for, or returned a page this API could not read (`upstream_unavailable`, `upstream_blocked`, `offset_mismatch`, `parser_drift`, `transport_unavailable`, `no_exit_available`). Retryable and never billed. Clients are never rate limited.
{
"meta": {
"attempts": 4,
"billable": false
},
"error": {
"code": "upstream_unavailable",
"message": "BoligPortal did not answer on every attempt."
},
"success": false
