How can I have this number into Data Explorer or customize my about section?

Now I have this but 7 days are not enough for me.

The image shows a dashboard with statistics on site activity, highlighting 100 active users in the last 7 days with a red circle. (Captioned by AI)

For active members I mean people who have just logged in, no posts, no like.
User visits are not the same..

Hey Ale!

Our definition of active means they have liked or posted at least once. Otherwise it is just a user visit. Can you explain why user visits are not what you are after?

(For myself, I recently needed Monthly Active Users as a calibration of how “large” my forum is, for legal compliance reasons. I was able to read it from forum.example.com/about.json - I very much hope this remains available, and is not ‘decluttered’ as the about page was.)

Edit: for this meta forum, I see these stats in the about.json:

      "users_30_days": 1224,
      "active_users_30_days": 3259,
      "participating_users_30_days": 1031,
      "visitors_30_days": 6980,
      "eu_visitors_30_days": 1399,

I don’t know precisely what all of those mean.
