Hot answers tagged caching

I have been working on another API recently so I may be a bit dull but my first impression is that the path of least resistance is to
pull your question(s) with answers and comments disregarding activity/creation filter (use max page size)
compare last activity date of the question. this will include new answers and edits on both the question and answers ...

Activity is defined as, "whatever the site considers Activity." Yeah...
More usefully, the current list is:
edits (on the post themselves, and on an answer a question owns)
opening a bounty
a new answer
initial creation
Basically, if it "bumps" a question its activity.
