more styling info on stackauth

Probably not. There's some room for expansion in styling (especially now that required/moderator tags are getting special use cases outside of Meta.SO and StackApps, like [featured]), but we don't wa …

Retrieving a user's recent information

Most of this information is exposed via the /users/{id}/timeline method. The rest can be gleaned from the /users/{id}/reputation and /users/{id}/mentioned methods. Is there something exposed via the …

stackapps data corpus

There is no data dump of StackApps yet, it hasn't been around long enough. api.stackapps.com does exist, so you can query that but the throttle limits do apply - overly aggressive querying can get yo …

/user/{id}/notifications API call

You can synthesize most/all of this call currently (new answers, changes in user rep, and comments directed at user are all accessible in v1.0) however it does take multiple calls. We'll revisit this …

Get a user's "interesting tags"

This is private per-user information. Accordingly we can't expose it until some sort of user auth is in place, which isn't a v1 target.

Add information to badges/{id} method.

Add moderator-only flag to tags API?

The tags methods now return restricted_to and fulfills_required (I know you didn't ask for the second one, but it was also missing). Update docs. restricted_to will be set to a "minimum" user type i …

added_date in users/{id}/favorites method result

You'll notice that the same questions object is returned by all the various methods. This is intentional, and I'm loath to make an exception in this case. You can get the set of questions favorite'd …
