What public endpoints do we have to show some general Nostrverse statistics? I'm building a component which shows some general numers, like the total number of active "users". So in that component I would like to fetch some data from an (API) endpoint.

I know we don't have a central point of truth, but we do have some statistics which seems to be accurate (but that does not matter much).

Oh wait...

"The dashboard is built entirely on NIP-45 COUNT queries with NIP-50 search extensions. No server-side instrumentation is needed — every metric is a real-time count of Nostr events filtered by kind, time range, #client tag, and distinct:author.
Unique users — distinct:author in the search field gives true DAU/WAU counts"

Thanks for this insight . This is why we don't need API's anymore with nostr 🤓
