Possible to return newest questions with a certain tag?

Question

I am not finding a way to return a list of new questions by tag with the new Stack Exchange API.

Am I missing something or is this not available? If this is not available, I most certainly request this feature.

There are 2 ways to get the 10 most recent questions of a tag, either on the /questions method or /search method.

The parameters on both routes are the same, just set tagged to your tag (eg iphone), and sort to creation, and order to desc

So that's either:

https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/questions?order=desc&sort=creation&tagged=iphone&site=stackoverflow

or

https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/search?order=desc&sort=creation&tagged=iphone&site=stackoverflow

The difference between the two is that if you search with multiple tags (separated by semi-colons), eg (c#;iphone):

• The /questions method will return questions which have both the c# and iphone tags.
• Whereas the /search method will return questions tagged either c# or iphone (or both).
