    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.
