Events API - Stats field is empty now. 'stats': {}

[ksayet]

The events API "stats" field is now showing {} for all events. Is this is an error? There had been data produced for "stats" for years.

Hi @ksayet! We have elected to restrict the availability of these statistics for the moment, as we investigate potential abuses of this API. The change was intentional and is not an error.

Hello @seanmcgrath-sg,
Any expected date of removing the restriction? As this API serves a major role in our Web app.

What would be considered abuse?

Hello @seanmcgrath-sg,
Any expected date of removing the restriction? This API serves a major role in our app as well.

What is the point of the API without stats?

It's a shame the stats were removed from the API. I was collecting the data for use in academic research, certainly not any kind of abuse.

As mentioned above, there is not much point to the API now.
