Thank you for your answer. 378 is current epoch. Could you explain why it is two epochs ago?

When you're talking about delegation against an epoch, you're expected to be looking at active stake of delegators for said epoch (as that's what you're getting blocks assigned for, and rewarded accordingly), not live stake/delegators

You are looking at a number of delegators for the active epoch (therefore the state of delegators two epochs ago) and cardanoscan is showing you the live delegations, which are two different things.
To get the current list of delegators, you need to use the /pools/delegators endpoint:
$ curl -s  -H "project_id: ..." "https://cardano-mainnet.blockfrost.io/api/v0/pools/ac66c8efb8edba3991576235e421ef0524ab351a22598de520de7b16/delegators" \
   | jq .[].address \
   | wc -l
12
