# Cart & Counter

There are two ways to manually get the numbers of items in a basket. 

1. The preferred way would be to make an AJAX call to [the API public endpoint for cart](/api/public-endpoints/cart.md#get-items-in-cart) and loop over the elements to count the numberoftickets key\
   \
   Example HTML:\
   \
   `Tickets in your basket: <span id="basket"></span>`\
   \
   Example Jquery Javascript:<br>

   ```
   $.get( "https://tickets.voordemensen.nl/api/demo/cart/52c5acccccb852328deb1345b1ee9672", function( data ) {  
       numberoftickets=0;
       data.forEach(function(data) {
           if(!isNaN(data.numberoftickets)) numberoftickets=numberoftickets+data.numberoftickets;
       });
       $( "#basket" ).html(numberoftickets);  
   });

   ```

   <br>
2. Or request the plain number by making a call to \
   \
   `https://tickets.voordemensen.nl/client_name/event/cartnr?murmur=cartid`\
   \
   This call will return a plain number you can display anywhere. <br>
