ee.ImageCollection.aggregate_count

Aggregates over a given property of the objects in a collection, calculating the number of non-null values of the property.

Usage	Returns
ImageCollection.aggregate_count(property)	Number

Argument	Type	Details
this: collection	FeatureCollection	The collection to aggregate over.
property	String	The property to use from each element of the collection.

Examples

// A Lansat 8 TOA image collection for a specific year and location.
var col = ee.ImageCollection("LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA")
  .filterBounds(ee.Geometry.Point([-122.073, 37.188]))
  .filterDate('2018', '2019');

// An image property of interest, percent cloud cover in this case.
var prop = 'CLOUD_COVER';

// Use ee.ImageCollection.aggregate_* functions to fetch information about
// values of a selected property across all images in the collection. For
// example, produce a list of all values, get counts, and calculate statistics.
