Should it mention _by_id detail?

isn't the 'count' part handled in the API? I think in the devops both should not
be NULL.

As far as I understand both _by_id APIs and devops behave same, so argument
descriptions/behavior should be same.

Again as far as I can see these covered by API, not devops, am I missing something.
