How to get task count in GCP cloud task

Question

Is there any standard way to get cloud task count for a queue?

I know we can loop through nextPageToken and achieve this.

Can this be achieved with single request?

By looking at the documentation, QueueStats seems to be the standard way to get task count.

As mentioned in @Sameer comment, cloudtask v2beta3 has a feature to request for stats of a queue:

public long geQueueDepth(String queuePath) {
        long depth=-1;

       try {
           FieldMask.Builder fieldBuilder = FieldMask.newBuilder();
           fieldBuilder.addPaths("stats");
           com.google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.GetQueueRequest queueRequest =
                   com.google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.GetQueueRequest.newBuilder().setName(queuePath).setReadMask(fieldBuilder).build();;
           com.google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.Queue queue = cloudTasksClientV3.getQueue(queueRequest);
           depth=queue.getStats().getTasksCount();
          
       }catch (Exception e){
           LOGGER.error("Error while getting queue depth =>{}",e.getMessage());
       }
        return depth;
    }
