I can’t get the Discourse API route `/page_view_total_reqs` (in the API docs: [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Reports%2Fpaths%2F~1page_view_total_reqs%2Fget)) to work on my instance, throws 404. I wonder if it works for others?

In admin dashboard → reports → consolidated pageviews, the `/admin/reports/consolidated_page_views` route is called to generate the plot. This route only seems to support html output, I can’t see any JSON call in the background.

The ruby gem [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_api: Ruby API for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_api) lacks any methods working with pageviews, so I assume `/page_view_total_reqs` even though documented isn’t supported yet?

Maybe I’m completely missing something obvious. Thanks for any tips!

It works for me if you use the full endpoint `admin/reports/page_view_total_reqs` and add the auth headers

```plaintext
-H "Api-Key: 714552c6148e1617aeab526d0606184b94a80ec048fc09894ff1a72b740c5f19" \
-H "Api-Username: system"

```
