How to display the total number of entries in a VK group?

Question

Python

Good afternoon!
Please tell me how to display the total number of group entries in VK using wall.get in Python (as of June 2019)? You just need this number.
I found some examples, but due to changes in the API, they do not work now.

def vk_download(method, parameters, token = token):
    url = 'https://api.vk.com/method/'+method+'?'+parameters+'&access_token='+str(token)
    response = requests.get(url) 
    return(response.json())


n = vk_download('wall.get','owner_id=-123456789')['response'][0] 
print('В группе целых', n, 'постов')

It turns out something like:

In a group of integers {'count': 9619, 'items': [{'id': 51999, 'from_id': -26610299, 'owner_id': -26610299, 'date': 1560444551, 'marked_as_ads': 0, 'post_type ': 'post', 'text': 'IMPORTANT INFORMATION, which may be useful to those who wish to purchase the official book of M. ‼\n\n⏺ The new batch will be released at the end of July (more like the beginning of August, I will be on vacation in July)\n⏺ The content of the new batch will not change,
...
'comments': {'count': 0}, 'likes': {'count': 805}, 'reposts': {'count': 37}, 'views': { 'count': 33787}}]} posts

Tell me please - how to fix it?
upd: thanks guys! Works.
