I’ve started showing forum pages via my custom app, but every time I show a topic I want to increment the page view for that topic (and overall stats) in accordance with the usual Discourse method. Is there a way to do this via the API? Or some other way?

Hey there, there isn’t. You may refer to this topic - Topic views doesn't update on rest API requests - #3 by sam and upvote it.

Est-il possible d'incrémenter manuellement le nombre de pages vues ?
