<p>You can pass the output of <code>listtransactions</code> through a JSON parser which can get that information for you. You can install a command line tool like <a href="https://stedolan.github.io/jq/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>jq</code></a> and pipe the output of your commands to it so you can access the JSON fields that you want.</p>

This is what I want to avoid to do as I wrote in my question. I want to implement pagination, we have about 100 000 transactions in the wallet, fetching them all is slow. More over I use Java not JavaScript. Parsing JSON is not problem

<p>I'm trying to implement paginations using :</p>

<pre><code>https://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api/listtransactions
</code></pre>

<p>I want to have reverse listing (oldest first), so I need to get total number of transaction returned by listtransactions call. </p>

<p>I know that getwalletinfo returns number of transactions, but listtransactions returns transaction outputs, which are more if sendmany is used. </p>

<p>Is there any method to get listtransactions.length without fetching all transaction in the wallet ?</p>

I want to have reverse listing (oldest first), so I need to get total number of transaction returned by listtransactions call. 
I know that getwalletinfo returns number of transactions, but listtransactions returns transaction outputs, which are more if sendmany is used.

You can pass the output of `listtransactions` through a JSON parser which can get that information for you. You can install a command line tool like [`jq`](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/) and pipe the output of your commands to it so you can access the JSON fields that you want.
