I haven’t seen the total counts being exposed in an API, but the individual policy violations including the threat level are available through the [Policy Violations by Report REST API](https://help.sonatype.com/iqserver/automating/rest-apis/report-related-rest-apis---v2#Report-relatedRESTAPIs-v2-PolicyViolationsbyReportRESTAPI(v2)). If you count all the `threatLevel` results per group and application, you should end up with the same number the GUI calculates.

If you only have one policy per threat group, you could also use the [Success Metrics Data REST API](https://help.sonatype.com/iqserver/automating/rest-apis/success-metrics-data-rest-api---v2) and just multiply the number of `openCountAtTimePeriodEndxxx` with the threat level of your corresponding policy.
