You can get the transaction count (nonce) of any address using web3.eth.getTransactionCount('address') as explained in web3 documentation

Hope this helps

But this method won't give the correct transaction count, there may be possible that some transactions are already initiated but not gets complete. So, in this case, the count values would not be updated.

I do not understand what are you expecting to get, the function will give you the transaction count of the address at the current block. Other than that will be to predict the future.

@Shubham Most functions in web3 accept an extra argument with the target block. You can use 'pending' like this web3.eth.getTransactionCount(address, 'pending') it will return the count including those pending transactions.
