| Feb 12, 2011 at 23:25 | comment | added | Jonathan. | @George: I didn't say that it didn't affect you?? | |
| Feb 12, 2011 at 23:13 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Jonathan: True. This is important because it affects me too. | |
| Feb 12, 2011 at 23:11 | comment | added | Jonathan. | @George: it seems one of the points in 1.1 was to reduce the amount of traffic, so making you do more requests, increases the traffic and makes it more complicated. And while 1.0 is around now, when 2.0 is available the style of 1.1 is more than likely going to be used. It's easier to get it changed when it's new. | |
| Feb 12, 2011 at 22:53 | comment | added | Nathan Osman | @Jonathan: Well, just issue enough requests to get all of the sites or use v1.0 of the API, which returns all of them no matter how many there are. | |
| Feb 12, 2011 at 22:49 | comment | added | Jonathan. | Can this be put into feature-request? | |
| Feb 12, 2011 at 22:49 | comment | added | Jonathan. | @George; but how does that affect the pagination? The script still has to multiple requests (at least it will do when there's more than 100 sites, and if you take a look at Area 51 that's going to happen pretty soon) | |

What I've done is create a cron script that runs every 24 hours, polls /sites, and sticks the results into a MySQL database. That way I can search, re-order, and do all manner of things with it.

+1 I really don't see the benefit of pagination on the /sites results. I'm never going to want only some of the sites; I want all or nothing.
