Thank you so much! Yes I’ll do this! I’m specifically looking for pageviews (logged in users, anonymous users, crawlers) but I can’t find it in the API documentation. Any pointers?

Some of the admin-specific calls aren’t in the API docs
I would open the network tab, go to the admin page, view the report with the data you want to retrieve, and then check the network tab to see what the browser loaded.
Which is really a summary of Reverse engineer the Discourse API

What I would do is use the data explorer plugin to get whatever you want and then you can pull that down with the API. Run Data Explorer queries with the Discourse API

Absolutely; if you want data differing from what’s already on offer in the admin panel, DE is the way to go.
It also gives the guarantee those queries won’t return different data after an update, BUT also the underlying structures may change and you may need to maintain the query.
Tradeoffs either way.

Thank you both! I got away with the “reverse engineer" method + API key! Thank you so much!
