# Get Post Statistics

> Retrieve post statistics with filters

## Endpoint

```
POST https://api.ugc.inc/stats/posts
```

## Overview

Get post statistics including views, likes, comments, and shares.

**Behavior:**

* **If `startDate` and `endDate` are NOT provided:** Returns the latest stat per post (one record per post) - optimal for dashboards showing current state
* **If `startDate` or `endDate` is provided:** Returns all stats within the date range - use for historical analysis and trend tracking

Use this endpoint to track post performance over time.
