Description MZMcBride 2009-03-05 22:18:25 UTC 
There's currently no way (that I can see) to return the number of people in a group (like sysop) via the API. The wiki has {{NUMBERINGROUP:sysop}}, which has led some to suggest hacks like http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&text={{NUMBERINGROUP:sysop}} to pull the data from the API.

meta=siteinfo seems like an appropriate place for something like sinumberingroup=sysop or something.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2009-03-06 14:02:56 UTC 
While of course this number should be available for every group, the number of sysops is already available through siprop=statistics.
Comment 2 Bryan Tong Minh 2009-07-12 12:10:45 UTC 
Fixed in r53131.
