# Get total monthly user count across customers

As a Reseller you get the total monthly user count across all companies you manage for billing or capacity reporting. Use a credential with Client Role = **Reseller**. Call company search (with a month parameter if the API supports it for Monthly Users), then sum the **monthly user** value from each company in the response. Paginate through all pages to include every company, or export to CSV/Excel and sum the monthly user column client-side.

***

## POST /api/companies/search

Returns a paginated list of companies; each item includes a **monthly user** count for the selected period. Request body: see Endpoints → **Company** (e.g. month selector or date range if available for Monthly Users). To get the total monthly user count: call search with a large `pageSize` or loop through all pages and sum the monthly user field from each company. The response total count and items give you the full set to aggregate.

> Retrieves a list of all companies with license details, including monthly user count per company. Sum the monthly user values across all pages to get the total for billing.
