Would implementing both 1.1 and 2.0 APIs in an app/script to get around the API quotas be co...

Yes, explicitly working around the quota system would be considered abuse. Simply shipping an application that makes requests against both V1.x and V2.0 isn't, though I wouldn't encourage it (outside …

Do calls on the 1.1 API and the 2.0 count against each other's limits?

The ip, and user/app-pair quotas are separate in V1.x and V2.0. The "30 simultaneous requests" throttle is not, as it's a DOS counter measure.

Why does api.stackoverflow.com allow resource calls that accept vectorized or multiple IDs?

The most immediate use is to facilitate polling on a set of resources. How you get that set is pretty much wide open: user's can enter them (questions, answers, other users, whatever) you can dis …

How do you get the association_id from the CC data dump?

association_id appears in the returns of /users/{ids} for user's who have existing associations. For example: ... more ... " up_vote_count": 871, "down_vote_count": 48, "accept_rate": 82, …

Enumerated types documentation in 1.1 API

Take a look at http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/usage/enumerations ; which is now linked from the front page of the documentation as well. Its very simplistic, but one of the nice behind the scenes c …

The /questions/{id}/linked method is returning extra questions

Another subtle one, boiled down to a bogus boolean clause accidentally including related (rather than explicitly linked) questions some of the time. Fixed now.

The /top-answer-tags method is not working

Hmm... subtle. Looks like, technically, some of the top score you've earned there are on tags that no longer actually exist. I'm filtering those out for the time being (so you look like a user who h …

Provide a method to search for sites

Pagination on /sites is solely so [app]s don't have to pull down any unknown, large, and constantly growing chunk of a data in a single request. It is expected that every consumer would grab all site …

1.1 sites - SO and MSO

Meta.StackOverflow is a meta in name only. It is not Stack Overflow's meta, at least not from the API's perspective. Its a tad confusing, I know. Its a consequence of the "per-site meta" concept be …
