import { programs } from '@wix/online-programs';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { programs },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function countPrograms(options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.programs.countPrograms(options);
};
```
