Programatically getting the amount of releases in the database

Is it possible to get the amount of releases in the MusicBrainz database programatically via an API?
There doesn’t seem to be a public API for Database statistics - Overview - MusicBrainz.
Thanks!

Hi @Deleted_Editor_2546016.

There is no API endpoint for MusicBrainz statistics indeed.

However, you can make your own statistics from data in Postgres if you install a local mirror using GitHub - metabrainz/musicbrainz-docker: Docker Compose project for the MusicBrainz Server with replication, search, and development setup.
