If you have the jq command, that will be cleaner than using tr.
Also, you can get the number of documents with a query for *:* instead of using
the admin API.
This same question was asked on Sep. 19th. This was my answer then.
====
Do a search. The URL will looks something like this:
/solr/core-name/select?q=*:*&rows=0&wt=json
That will return something like this:
{"responseHeader":{"status":0,"QTime":1},"response":{"numFound":287176,"start":0,"docs":[]}}
Filter that response through this:
jq .response.numFound
And you’ll get the number of documents in the core.
