Site aggregation

POST /v1/sites/aggregate

Counts sites matching a filter and groups them by categorical fields. Supports the count function and groupBy grouping.

Request fields (body)

Parameter Type Required Description
aggregate array no Array of aggregations. For sites only { "field": "*", "function": "count" } is meaningful — the entity has no numeric metric fields for sum/avg/min/max. Without this parameter, the count of records matching the filter is returned
groupBy string | array no Field or fields to group by. Only fields from aggregatable are allowed: type, active, deleted, lang, tplId, domainId, createdById, modifiedById. Up to 5 fields
groupOrderBy array no Group sorting: an array of { "field": "count" | "<dimension>", "direction": "asc" | "desc" }. Works only together with groupBy
groupLimit number no Limit on the number of returned groups (1..1000). Works only together with groupBy
filter object no Filtering by key site fields.
Filtering syntax
scope string no Internal landing area: KNOWLEDGE / GROUP / MAINPAGE. Without this parameter, regular landing sites are counted

Type filter and area (scope). If you pass {"filter": {"type": "KNOWLEDGE"}} or "GROUP" without scope, Vibecode supplies the matching area itself (type=KNOWLEDGEscope=KNOWLEDGE) — counting knowledge bases and group pages works without setting scope manually, the same way it does in list and search. An explicit scope wins. MAINPAGE is an area, not a site type (its sites have type VIBE), so it is not derived from the type filter: pass scope=MAINPAGE explicitly for home pages.

Other scenarios

Total number of sites in the Bitrix24 account — the fastest request, without fetching records:

JSON
{}

Number of active landing sites:

JSON
{ "filter": { "type": "PAGE", "active": true } }

Response fields

Field Type Description
success boolean Always true on success
data.count number Number of sites matching the filter
data.aggregates object Numeric aggregation results. Stays empty for sites — there are no numeric metric fields
data.groups array Present when groupBy is set. Each element is a dimension value plus the record count in the group
data.meta.totalRecords number Total number of records
data.meta.recordsProcessed number How many records were processed
data.meta.truncated boolean true when the numbers were computed over only some of the records that match the filter: fewer records were read than data.count promised — including when more than 5000 matched the filter — or the slice was cut short by a sub-page error. The size of the gap is reported in data.meta.recordsShortfall, the interrupted slice in data.meta.pageErrorSample. Always present, and false on a complete response. If the request has neither groupBy nor a numeric function, no records are fetched and the flag is always false
data.meta.groupTotal number Present when groupBy is set — the number of groups
data.meta.groupsTruncated boolean Present when groupBy is set. true if the number of groups exceeded the limit and the list was truncated

Response example

Grouping by type (groupBy: "type"):

JSON
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "count": 18,
    "aggregates": {},
    "groups": [
      { "type": "PAGE", "count": 11, "aggregates": {} },
      { "type": "STORE", "count": 5, "aggregates": {} },
      { "type": "VIBE", "count": 2, "aggregates": {} }
    ],
    "meta": {
      "totalRecords": 18,
      "recordsProcessed": 18,
      "truncated": false,
      "groupTotal": 3,
      "groupsTruncated": false
    }
  }
}

Plain count without grouping ({}):

JSON
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "count": 18,
    "aggregates": {},
    "meta": {
      "totalRecords": 18,
      "recordsProcessed": 0,
      "truncated": false
    }
  }
}

Error response example

400 — a field outside the aggregatable list:

JSON
{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INVALID_PARAMS",
    "message": "groupBy field 'title' is not aggregatable on this entity. Available: type, active, deleted, lang, tplId, domainId, createdById, modifiedById."
  }
}

Errors

HTTP Code Description
400 INVALID_PARAMS The groupBy field is outside the aggregatable list, or an unknown aggregation function
403 SCOPE_DENIED The API key lacks the landing scope
401 TOKEN_MISSING The API key has no configured tokens
429 RATE_LIMITED Rate limit exceeded: 300 requests per minute per portal, all API keys of the portal share one limit. The exact value arrives in the x-ratelimit-limit header (the cap is divided across replicas). Retry after the delay in the Retry-After header

Known specifics

Grouping is computed over the records that were read. When a response arrives with meta.truncated: true, the group counts are computed over the slice that was read, while the top-level count stays the exact total for the filter.

Visibility by user permissions. Only sites the API key owner has "view" permission for are counted. If a non-zero result is expected but count is zero — check the permissions of the user the key is issued for.

The truncation marker travels with the number itself. When a response arrives with meta.truncated: true, the marker truncated: true sits inside every field object in data.aggregates and on every element of data.groups, and data.meta.warnings gains a warning with the code AGGREGATE_TRUNCATED. A client that reads only the number itself therefore sees that it was computed over only some of the records. None of these markers appear on a complete response.
