biblatex: don't show pages attribute

Question

I would like to remove the "pages" attribute from .bib files.

biblatex output

I tried to pass \usepackage[usepages=false]{biblatex}, which seemed the logical way to do it, based on the documentation, but it does not work -- is it possible to disable them?

The usepages=false option seems to be unknown for biblatex — , May 15 '15 at 00:07
See also Is it possible to suppress a specific field from bibtex .bbl in biblatex? and How to suppress certain .bib fields (e.g. year) only for certain entry types (e.g. inproceedings). You only need to know that pages is a "field" and thus \clearfield applies. — moewe, May 15 '15 at 05:23
@ChristianHupfer it is unknown. My point was that the documentation has useauthor, useyear, and says to use use<name> for other fields. But it does not work. — Ricardo Cruz, May 16 '15 at 12:06

You can remove (disable) particular fields, lists or names with

\AtEveryBibitem{\clearfield{pages}}

Use \clear<type>{<typename>} where <type> stands for list or name and the <typename> is the name of the bibtex field you want to disable.

For some reason, this did not work for me and I had to use \AtEveryCitekey instead of \AtEveryBibitem. – Rastapopoulos Feb 13 '20 at 16:21
Indeed, @Rastapopoulos. I think this should be a separate answer. – Supernormal Feb 15 '20 at 09:51
