@fromjason do you have access to the server logs? if yes, i'd grab the logs for a day, use grep to filter out the feed url, grep again with some regex to filter out ip addresses and | sort | uniq | wc -l. if you assume one ip address corresponds to approximately one person that should give you a good estimate.

so all in all:

grep $feed_location log-2023-11-08.txt | grep -oE '([0-9]{1,3}[\.]?){4}' | sort | uniq | wc -l  

You may have to adjust the second grep command.

PS: I edited this because my first approach counted the wrong thing 🙃
