# Count records per value

`GET https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/tables/{tableId}/records/groups`

How many records sit under each value of one column, for the same set a list would return.

> **Note: Generic contract**
>
> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.gtable.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.
> [Why each person gets their own](/docs/start/studio-and-runtime#why-an-app-has-an-api-of-its-own).

Keys are raw stored values, ordered the way that column sorts. `fieldId` takes the field's id or exact name; a field you cannot read is refused, listing the fields you can.

Requires the `records:read` scope. Operation `records.groups`. MCP tool `records_groups`. CLI, once published: `gtable records groups`.
