I want to create a chart to show daily report, for instance, there are 10 posts today, and 20 posts in last day, day by day, I know the API can return the no.of records by using COUNT, but let’s say 1 month, then I got to request it day by day and plot it into chart, is there any best practices to do so?

Instead of calling the API 30 times for each day, I would recommend building a new route with a custom controller and a custom query that retrieves counts for each day in a single request.
