# Count requests waiting for the caller

> How many pending requests have the caller as the approver whose turn it is — the badge on Manage requests. For an admin this is fewer than `GET /time-off/approvals?status=pending`, which lists every pending request in the organization. Requires the `time-off:review` scope.
