A couple of days ago I answered a question about the Stack API.

As my answer could be illustrated with a working code example I went ahead to create a Stack Snippet. To my surprise that feature isn't enabled here, while it is in working order for Meta Stack Exchange. I did fallback to the good old JsFiddle.

Based on a comment from Haney it doesn't look like there is a technical reason that this couldn't be enabled here. Leaves me with asking the other users here.

Should we ask the dev team politely to enable Stack Snippets here?

I would put a Snippet in this answer if I knew what to put in one but, thanks to Yaakov, this is now done. :)

Yes!

It would, primarily, be useful in cases such as your example: support with using the API.

I think people looking for help would always appreciate a minimal example, just to see outputs and how you might go about doing something, and it doesn't take too long to make a snippet!

But it could also be used in certain posts such as The Unofficial Wheel of Blame :)
