Apparently the admin user route isn’t documented in the API Docs. I’ll make sure that route is added.

If you GET `/admin/users/{id}.json` it will return these fields which are close to what you are after:

```plaintext
flags_given_count
flags_received_count
warnings_received_count
suspended (boolean)

```

I would start with the [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566) where you can create a saved query that you can send an API call to and pass it a user id to return exactly what you are after. But yes, creating a plugin that creates a new route to expose those fields is also an option.
