Description

:clipboard: Description

A discord badge as the one currently available, with the only difference, that it shows the total number of people in the server as well:

E.g. Discord: 15/50 online

:link: Data

I am not sure if there is such an endpoint with the available data in the Discord API.

:microphone: Motivation

Showing the number of online users is good, but sometimes you want to also show the number of people that have joined the server in total. It's good to show the total interest in your project/server.
