Would it be possible to add close/reopen vote information to the questions object?

For example, you usually see something along the lines of:

close (3)

when a question has three (current) close-votes. Can we get access to this in the API, maybe display the number of close-votes and possibly the types suggested (i.e. Not Constructive, Not a Real Question, etc).

  • I also would like to see this implemented. It would even be better if you would allow us to do close vote using the API.

  • @PeeHaa I believe write access will be allowed in a future version of the API, not just yet.

  • Note that, as of now, this information (# of close votes) has been available from the API for quite some time.

I'll slot this in for v2.1, not super useful in general but definitely interesting information that we should make available.

  • Wait - v2.1? - would it be possible to get a brief summary of what that will include?

  • @George - no, it's just in the "writing things down to remember to include" stage not an active development one.

  • But it's safe to assume that it will not support writing data (scheduled for v3.0), correct?

  • @George - eh, 2.1 may become 3.0 (with implied write access); depends on scheduling, available resources, and what not. Far too early to say definitively.

    @KevinMontrose The close vote count is available now... any plans for the pre-closure reasons?
