XF 2.1 Using API to get stats?

[adamgreenough]

Hi! I have been trying to use the API to get stats for the homepage of my site (non xenforo).

I am looking for...

• Total number of threads
• Total new threads last 7 days
• Total users
• Total new users last 7 days
• Total posts
• Total new posts last 7 days

So far I've just managed to get the total number of threads. Does anyone know if this is possible with the current API?

How have you managed to get the total number of threads?

Spontaneous idea: Calling /threads should give you the first thread page along with the number of available pages. From there you could take the threads per page * number of pages for an "estimate" or if you need the exact count, you can query the last page.

I'd honestly rather implement a custom endpoint that just returns all stats in an orderly fashion instead though. Pretty trivial to do.

There is a total thread count in the pagination section of the /threads endpoint.
