Thousands.

that was the purpose of the Kepler Space Telescope As of mid-March 2018, Kepler has discovered 2,342 confirmed exoplanets and revealed the existence of perhaps 2,245 others. The total number of planets discovered by all observatories is 3,706.

Yes we do. Over 3000 confirmed exoplanets over more than 20 YEARS. These are NOT recent discoveries.

Their numbering into the thousands now, thanks to space-based telescopes, as well as new techniques used by Earth-based scopes.
