[API] Statistics API end point like those displayed on /stats

[ForsakenRei]

Suggestion

For a homelab environment where poeple usually has a dashboard, maybe extend the current API end point to add something like total archives, tags etc. display on the https://yourinstance.com/stats? Maybe add them to the /info end point since it already have total_pages_read there.

Additional Context

The dashboard I'm using now is https://github.com/gethomepage/homepage which support custom API so I can display the statics there. I have a Python script to grab the numbers from the /stats page the expose my homemade API but I felt it's not the most elegant way to do it lol.

I presume you know of api/database/stats for the tag cloud data? This is what the "different tags existing" stat relies on.

For the others, I've added total_archives to /api/info since it was straightforward; Content folder size is a bit more work to API-fy since it currently hard-formats the number to GBs and it's probably be better to return the raw number.

Let me know if this enough for your needs.

Thanks! And yeah I'm aware of the tag cloud data, though I didn't find the total count (or maybe I missed it somewhere?) so as lazy as I am I just use Python to scrap the statistics page lol. I guess if we already have a count for the statistics page it shouldn't be too complicated to add another end point...?

As for the total size, I didn't realized it's hard coded to GB so there is no need to rush, just when you have free time.

The correct way to do this would be to use prometheus metrics, which are the standard for monitoring applications nowadays. That way then it can be pulled into grafana/any other system out there without worrying about supporting different custom apps.

Yes, my idea is we have some general API end points so people can decide what to do with them, I have prometheus and homepage supports custom API so there is no need for LANraragi to do extra development about dashboard support.

I'll be playing around with prometheus for a bit.
