Should there be more options for item_type in the "inbox" routes (they return inbox_item)?
Shouldn't they return answer and edit suggested like the site's global inbox does? As shown in this screenshot:
Should there be more options for item_type in the "inbox" routes (they return inbox_item)?
Shouldn't they return answer and edit suggested like the site's global inbox does? As shown in this screenshot:
1) Answer is already in the inbox_item object. Note the entry for item_type in the doc page:
one of comment, chat_message, new_answer, careers_message, careers_invitations, meta_question, post_notice, or moderator_message
new_answer is returned whenever a new answer is posted to one of the authenticated user's questions.
2) edit_suggested is returned as part of the notification object, which also returns:
accounts_associated moderator_message
badge_earned new_privilege
bounty_expired post_migrated
bounty_expires_in_one_day profile_activity
bounty_expires_in_three_days registration_reminder
bounty_grace_period_started reputation_bonus
edit_suggested substantive_edit
generic
So, you have to call both one of the /inbox routes and one of the /notifications routes to get the same information that's in the Stack Exchange "inbox". But you normally want to do that anyway.
