Retrieve inbox notifications

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to retrieve any notification that appears in the inbox of stackexchange? Or is there another technique to retrieve notifications on updates?

Answer 1

Currently, no. The inbox isn't exposed (as doing so would require user authentication, which is also not yet available).

However, most of what goes into the inbox is available* via the API. Look into /users/{id}/questions and /users/{id}/mentioned.

_{*Polling (very occasionally) with sort=activity/creation and min=<last time you polled>.}
