Hey.
I was wondering if there’s any way to allow all users to see users post\_count when using the API call /users/{username}.json without having to modify the git repo?
Is there something like a setting or plugin for this?

You can retreive it from `https://meta.discourse.org/u/Wille.json` under
`"post_count":0`
Your topic count is 1.

Sure, that works when looking up the profile of ones own user, but I would like the post\_count to be public to everyone, preferably even to anonymous browsers.
If I look up [https://meta.discourse.org/u/Codinghorror.json](https://meta.discourse.org/u/Codinghorror.json) there’s no post\_count there, just the same as with [https://meta.discourse.org/users/Codinghorror.json](https://meta.discourse.org/users/Codinghorror.json)

Bump, not just for seeing post\_count but being able to configure the API. Possible?
Edit: Never mind, may have found it under Settings → User → public user custom fields
Edit2: Never mind the never mind, adding ‘post\_count’ there didn’t help. Is there some kind of syntax here like user@user\_fields@post\_count ?
Edit3: Doesn’t seem to work with custom created fields either. I added “Discord ID” both in Customize → User Fields and Settings → User → public user custom fields, doesn’t show up even in my (admin’s) own json /users/admin.json when logged in as admin.

It’s in `https://meta.discourse.org/u/wille/summary.json`

Appreciate it a lot!
Is there any rhyme or reason to the API so I know where to look next time for something in the future?
I can’t find any mentions of summary.json in the API docs for instance.
