In late 2024 Philip Rosedale asked if people wanted a list of how many people were in different regions, since this was data that the BonnieBots project was providing.

April 15th 2026 LL has banned the BonnieBots and the owner, so now people like me who used the API that Bonniebots provided (https://www.bonniebots.com/developers), need a new source of this data.

For me I used the top 100/popular region API to make my SimHopper2.0 HUD work. I sincerely think it helped people find active events happening in real time - music events, educational events, social events etc.

What I am looking for is the same data, a function where I can query like llpopularregion(x), where x represents the number in the top 1 to 100 most populated regions. example: llpopularregion(50) returns the region name of the region with the 50th highest users of a list of 100 currently most populated regions. It would also be useful to specify if the top 100 list result included scripted agents, so that you could do the query where the result included no scripted agents, real people + scripted agents, or only scripted agents. Additionally it would be useful to specify the maturity rating of the result - do you want results that include adult + general + moderate, or only general for example.

This is similar to the strategy of exploring second life by opening the map and looking for clusters of green dots and going there. You don't know who they are, so this isn't a request for any personal information. It is just asking for data to see what regions are popular in real time.
