docs: Get the number of products matching a query.
  
          Accepted parameters are identical to :meth:`SentinelAPI.query()`.
  
          This is a significantly more efficient alternative to doing `len(api.query())`,
          which can take minutes to run for queries matching thousands of products.
  
          Returns
          -------
          int
              The number of products matching a query.
