National park visitor statistics — how many people visited a park. Answers “how many people visited Yellowstone”, “NPS visitation numbers”, “annual visitors to Grand Canyon”, “busiest national park”, “park attendance by month”. Monthly + annual recreation and total visitor counts from the NPS Visitor Use Statistics service (keyless). Pass a park name or 4-letter code (e.g., YELL, GRCA, GRSM) and a year, or system_total:true for the whole national park system. Example: {“park”:“yellowstone”,“year”:2023}.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`park`	string	no	Park name or 4-letter NPS unit code (e.g., “yellowstone”, “grand canyon”, “YELL”, “GRCA”, “GRSM”). Omit when system_total is true.
`year`	number	no	Calendar year (default: most recent complete year). Data lags ~6-12 months.
`start_year`	number	no	Optional range start year (inclusive).
`end_year`	number	no	Optional range end year (inclusive).
