Jun 17, 2010 at 20:53 comment added Greg Bray @porkeypop the path should look like this example: stackauth.com/0.8/users/6c21dcdc-0b55-440f-a378-9871074a5350/… I added the type=json to make it return pretty-print instead of standard json.
Jun 17, 2010 at 18:03 comment added porkeypop @code what's the stackauth path if my associated_id is 1234-5678? api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/users/1234-5678/associated doesn't seem to be working. error: { code: 404 message: "The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI." }
Jun 17, 2010 at 16:51 comment added pufferfish @code - yes, the ability to look up a user's ID from a list of cached email hashes would be perfect. Thanks for the tip, and I look forward to your upcoming post.

Jun 17, 2010 at 1:56 comment added Sky Sanders @puffer - you are going to have to somehow get the user_id of at least one of the user's stack exchange accounts, pull that user and get the associated_id and then hit the stackauth users/{id}/associated path. if you had a complete list of users you could search for the email hash. I say if because keeping a complete current list is something you want to be careful with so that you don't piss off the api abuse gods. I am putting the final touches on a cacheing strategy that makes keeping an updated list tolerable. Watch for the post.
Jun 17, 2010 at 1:52 comment added Sky Sanders @geo - again, +1 for stating the obvious.
Jun 17, 2010 at 1:10 comment added pufferfish Thanks! Those api docs help quite a bit. One thing I couldn't find was how I might connect users on one site (with email addresses and names) with the equivalent user on StackOverflow. Is there a quick way to search for users by email on the APIs?

Jun 17, 2010 at 0:06 comment added Sky Sanders + for stating the obvious. I forget, is there a 'first time here? read the FAQ' banner here that introduces the API?
