Notifications typically contain links within their bodies. They're considerably more free-form than inbox_items, in that they're not typically attached to a post. Notifications only even have direct …

Every response from the API can be cached for up to a minute, so making the same request multiple times in that time-frame typically won't return different results. We make note of this in the thrott …

inname doesn't accept multiple parameters, it accepts a single substring which must be in the returned tags' names.

The comments are more or less correct; caching applies to the /events endpoint just like every other method. This is by design for now. We have looked at differing caching policies for /events and …

stackexchange.com user ids are not the same as stackoverflow.com user ids (are not the same as Server Fault's, Super User's, etc., etc.). Stack Overflow user 1719 is voyce, who has the five badges th …

Meta Stack Overflow is a main site in the sense that it doesn't have any linking between it and Stack Overflow. Separate rep system, separate user account, distinct ids, etc. etc. It is weird, but i …

Tag wikis, their editing, and the promotion there of are still being actively developed (after something of a lull). I didn't think it appropriate to expose suggested edits w.r.t. tag wikis at this t …

You should be using min and max here if you want tags that were active in that range. fromdate and todate always apply to creation. https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/tags?min=1322697600&max=13251168 …

That URL is malformed in a particular way that ASP.NET treats specially (as if it were an attack). /1.1/questions/51812/timeline?pagesize=100?page=2 should be /1.1/questions/51812/timeline?pagesize=1 …

Dates increase as time advances, so 1293861600 (Jan. 1st 2011) is greater than 946706400 (Jan 1st. 2000). Thus, a descending ordering puts the most recent dates first. Because sorting by dates is mu …

It is something of a historical accident that this method returns markdown, however it has become too dangerous to change it. Consider it status-bydesign for 1.0 and 1.1.

For the time being, as everything on Stack Auth is "query when needed (which is rarely), cache for a day", the inclusion of rate limit headers is kind of pointless. Basically, if you ever need to che …

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 …

They were never intended to appear, and this bug fix incidentally removed them from the API.
