in order to uniquely identify a `associated_users` on must traverse the object graph into the `onsite` object and construct an artificial key. it makes more sense to either flatten the structure or, more appropriately in my opinion, simply use a site key instead of duplicating data that, if desired, can be pulled from the `/sites` route. this is an example of where a decent site key would come in handy, but if, as insisted, a mixed case string with, currently, spaces and who knows what else in the future, is what we have for a key then please surface that on the result. the current structure is unnatural and the nested object graph complicates consumption unnecessarily. { "associated_users": [ { "user_id": 242897, "user_type": "registered", "display_name": "code poet", "reputation": 9272, "on_site": { "name": "Stack Overflow", "logo_url": "http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png", "api_endpoint": "http://api.stackoverflow.com", "site_url": "http://stackoverflow.com", "description": "Q&A for programmers", "icon_url": "http://sstatic.net/so/apple-touch-icon.png" }, "email_hash": "df4a7fbd8a054fd6193ca0ee62952f1f" }, { "user_id": 38306, "user_type": "registered", "display_name": "code poet", "reputation": 111, "on_site": { "name": "Server Fault", "logo_url": "http://sstatic.net/sf/img/logo.png", "api_endpoint": "http://api.serverfault.com", "site_url": "http://serverfault.com", "description": "Q&A for system administrators and IT professionals", "icon_url": "http://sstatic.net/sf/apple-touch-icon.png" }, "email_hash": "df4a7fbd8a054fd6193ca0ee62952f1f" }, { "user_id": 31747, "user_type": "registered", "display_name": "code poet", "reputation": 100, "on_site": { "name": "Super User", "logo_url": "http://sstatic.net/su/img/logo.png", "api_endpoint": "http://api.superuser.com", "site_url": "http://superuser.com", "description": "Q&A for computer enthusiasts and power users", "icon_url": "http://sstatic.net/su/apple-touch-icon.png" }, "email_hash": "df4a7fbd8a054fd6193ca0ee62952f1f" }, { "user_id": 144906, "user_type": "registered", "display_name": "code poet", "reputation": 1252, "on_site": { "name": "Stack Overflow Meta", "logo_url": "http://sstatic.net/mso/img/logo.png", "api_endpoint": "http://api.meta.stackoverflow.com", "site_url": "http://meta.stackoverflow.com", "description": "Q&A about Stack Overflow, Server Fault, and Super User", "icon_url": "http://sstatic.net/mso/apple-touch-icon.png" }, "email_hash": "df4a7fbd8a054fd6193ca0ee62952f1f" }, { "user_id": 14, "user_type": "registered", "display_name": "code poet", "reputation": 3123, "email_hash": "df4a7fbd8a054fd6193ca0ee62952f1f" } ] }
