Count the amount of transactions during a period

Using Hledger.

Is there any easy way of gettinng a count of the amount of transactions recorded durig e.g a year?

Some ideas:

hledger stats date:2024
hledger print date:2024 | grep ^2 | wc -l

To count postings, eg in an account:

hledger balance checking date:2024 --count
hledger register checking date:2024 | wc -l

I would do this:

hledger print date:"this month" -O json | jq length

Thank you both!

Knew about --count but must have missed the stats function.
