Hi Ritu, The given code will return only success or error count with the response, you can call the api multiple times using a loop and can store the counts in a global variable.

Hi Ritu, You can create a Response class like below
public  class Response
{
       public int SuccessCount { get; set; }
       public int errorCount { get; set; }
       public ListUpdateAmount ObjUpdateAmount { get; set; }
}
Now you can call your API and return the Response along with Success and error count like below.
public static Response UpdateLineItem(string _uninvoiced_amount, int id, string _UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON)
        {
            int SuccessCount = 0;
            int errorCount = 0;
            Response rsp = new Response();
            try
            {
                ListUpdateAmount ObjUpdateAmount = null;
                string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl = "//ewws/EWUpdate/.json?$KB=abc&$table=xyz&$login=xxx& $password=xxx&$lang=en&uninvoiced_amount=" + _uninvoiced_amount + "&id=" + id + "";
                string uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull = string.Format("{0}{1}", ClientConfiguration.Default.UriString.TrimEnd('/'), uninvoiced_amountUpdUrl);
                var httpWebRequestUpd = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uninvoiced_amountUpdUrlFull);
                httpWebRequestUpd.ContentType = "application/json";
                httpWebRequestUpd.Method = "POST";
                using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequestUpd.GetRequestStream()))
                {
                    streamWriter.Write(_UpdateUninvoicedAmountJSON);
                    streamWriter.Flush();
                    streamWriter.Close();
                }
                var httpResponseUpd = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequestUpd.GetResponse();
                using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponseUpd.GetResponseStream()))
                {
                    var JSON_Result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
                    ObjUpdateAmount = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(JSON_Result);
                    if (ObjUpdateAmount.success == true)
                    {
                         SuccessCount++;
                        _uninvoiced_amount = ObjUpdateAmount.result.uninvoiced_amount;
                        id = ObjUpdateAmount.result.id;
                    }
                    Console.WriteLine("update successfully" + _uninvoiced_amount + count);
                }
                rsp.SuccessCount = SuccessCount;
                rsp.ObjUpdateAmount = ObjUpdateAmount;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                errorCount++;
                rsp.errorCount = errorCount;
                throw new Exception(ex.Message,ex.InnerException);
            }
            return rsp;
        }

Hi,
If you are using ajax then you can use "done()" and "error()" callback methods to identify success and error count .
Ex-
var successCount=0;
var errorCount=0;

$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: 'url',
dataType: 'json',
data: {},
error: function(xhr, error){
   //error reason can be seen in "error" object
   errorCount = errorCount+1;
},
success: function(data){
  successCount = successCount +1;
}
});
