How to check if objects have more than 1 keyframe in the time slider

[likage]

What is the best way to check and see if an object (or multiple objects) have more than 1 animated keyframes as denoted by the red ticks in the time slider...

I tried using "cmds.keyframe(sl=False, q=True, tc=True)", however that returns me the amount of attributes that are keyframed etc.

My objective here will be, if an object is found to have 1 or no animated keyframes/ the red ticks, skip it.

What about:

if cmds.keyframe(obj, q=True, keyframeCount=True) > 1:

    skip()

Hi Justin,

It does not seems to work. The value returned is the number of attributes that are keyed.

sel = cmds.ls(sl=True)[0]
kf = cmds.keyframe(sel, query=True, keyframeCount=True)
print kf

Eg. 

1. Create a sphere (no animation keyframe) > run the above code > returns '0' as the result

2. Create a sphere (do a single keyframe, or hit 'S' key) > run the above code > returns '10' as the result

I can use `len(set(list(kf)))` as a means to check. If the values is greater than 1, it will means that there are 2 frames (2 ticks).

Trying to see if there is another similar/ better command within Maya itself.

I am not seeing this behaviour that you are reporting. What I am seeing is that the returned value is the total number of keyframes for the objects you pass in as arguments. If you are passing multiple objects, then it is the total for all of them, so you will want to run that for each object individually. When I create a new object, it is zero. When I create a key on tx, it is one. If I created another key on tx at a different time it returns 2. If I hit 's' like you suggested then I am creating keys on all the transform channels which means the first one will be 10. So it is not an attribute count.

I assumed since your stated goal is to check if an object has more than 1 red tick mark. And so checking each object individually, the way I had provided, seems like it does what you want? Technically you could have 100 red tick marks but no value change between them, which means the object is static even though it has keyframes.
