    Could be a reason, why don't you compare a normal V1 /posts/count call with this V2 instead of metrics call and see how it works.

I couldn't find a reference to /posts/count.

 

That did the trick to the calls returning the same value.

 

However, the reason why they're different remains a mystery.

 

Edit: The values differ depending on whether you're logged in or not as an admin. I'm unsure what the posts are.

    DylanGeorgeFiel - The results would always vary in logged in and logged out case if you are making the REST call as rest("your_rest_call")

    It is because the REST call would respect all the permissions and not fetch the results which require login.

    If you were making the call as restadmin("your_rest_call"), it will fetch same results irrespective of login or logout.

    I hope this helps and clears the doubt you have.

    The additional posts are likely to be in internal areas like abuse report, filter notices or internal moderation boards that are only accessible to moderators or admins.
