[Bug] REST API v1 /topics calls return wrong count

Yeah, doing that usually, but have a case where that's not possible and then I need to fix the issue by subtracting 1 from the count, which is kind of awkward =)...

luk- Not recommended but if there is no other option left you can use this. As in our case too, We were getting API V1 count one less than API V2.  What is the case which won't let you use API V2?

    Featured topics that are not returned correctly and seem to have broken completely with 17.9 (reported last week if I remember correctly)...works with v1.

    The funny thing is, that with /threads the count is correct, but not with /topics...

      /topics call is search-backed, but the /topics/count goes to the DB. V2 is search-backed for both the results and the count are search-backed. I'd have to look at the site to determine why the DB is returning 18 when search is returning 17, but it's probably something with permissions. Support should be able to help get this resolved.
