Use LLEN to get the number of elements in a list. The reply is 0 when the key does not exist. The length is maintained by Redis rather than computed on demand, so the command is cheap whatever the size of the list, which makes it the usual way to monitor a queue’s backlog.

Syntax

Arguments

Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.
Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
