Accepts <code>limit</code> and <code>page</code> query parameters for pagination of results (<code>limit</code> must be an integer between 1 and 100, and <code>page</code> must be an integer greater than or equal to 0).</li>
-            <li>POST <code>/items</code> — return views and downloads for an arbitrary list of items with an optional date range. Accepts <code>limit</code>, <code>page</code>, <code>dateFrom</code>, and <code>dateTo</code> parameters².</li>
-            <li>GET <code>/item/id</code> — return views and downloads for a single item (<code>id</code> must be a UUID). Returns HTTP 404 if an item id is not found.</li>
-            <li>GET <code>/communities</code> — return views and downloads for all communities that Solr knows about¹. Accepts <code>limit</code> and <code>page</code> query parameters for pagination of results (<code>limit</code> must be an integer between 1 and 100, and <code>page</code> must be an integer greater than or equal to 0).

-            <li>GET <code>/community/id</code> — return views and downloads for a single community (<code>id</code> must be a UUID). Returns HTTP 404 if a community id is not found.
-            <li>GET <code>/collections</code> — return views and downloads for all collections that Solr knows about¹.

-        </ul>

-        <p>The id is the <em>internal</em> UUID for an item, community, or collection. You can get these from the standard DSpace REST API.</p>

-        <p>¹ We are querying the Solr statistics core, which technically only knows about items, communities, or collections that have either views or downloads. If an item, community, or collection is not present here you can assume it has zero views and zero downloads, but not necessarily that it does not exist in the repository.</p>
-
-        <p>² POST requests to <code>/items</code>, <code>/communities</code>, and <code>/collections</code> should be in JSON format with the following parameters (substitute the "items" list for communities or collections accordingly):</p>
