Is there a way to get a list of AAD groups with membership count? With Graph API? Even if ConsistencyLevel=Eventual?

Like: /groups?$filter=startsWith(displayName,'MYPREFIX-WHATEVS')&$select=displayName,members/$count

    Got it: 

    $filter=startsWith(displayName,'MYPREFIX-WHATEVS')&$select=displayName&$expand=members($select=id,userPrincipalName,displayName)

    Hi dear @Brian McCullough

    There is something wrong with your API, because members is actually an expansion item and not a child item, so your API should be changed to: /groups?$filter=startsWith(displayName,'MYPREFIX-WHATEVS')&$select=displayName&$expand=members.

    Since the expansion parameter $expand and the count parameter $count cannot be used together, your original API should remove the members parameter: 

      GET https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups?$filter=startsWith(displayName,'MYPREFIX-WHATEVS')&$select=displayName,id&$count=true  
  ConsistencyLevel: eventual

    Or only count the number of members of a certain group: 

    https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/groups/{group object id}/members?$filter=startsWith(displayName,'MYPREFIX-WHATEVS')&$select=displayName,id&$count=true  
ConsistencyLevel: eventual
