@weizhouapache, creating an API to return a handful of resource counts will limit the users to the data we (the developers) define the API to return; for new use cases, we would have to extend the API to return a new resource count, which makes it a limited approach. On the other hand, creating the proposed parameter in those APIs will give users the flexibility to combine the API parameters the way they want. The user's dashboard is just an example of where we can use the parameter; however, we have to remember that users can and will consume the APIs in different ways. Therefore, with that in addition to my initial point, I believe that the parameter creation in this scenario is a better approach rather than creating an API, as it brings flexibility for the users. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
