Installing user scripts on site?
The problem with this isn't so much the security (though that's a concern), it's that we don't want the backwards compatibility constraints such blessed installations imply on our HTML and javascript. …

Can we have the display_name field in the /me/associated route?
This is by design, for reasons of technical limitations.
Unfortunately, we don't have easy access to display names at a "network level". What's available (and what's backing the API) is very normali …

What happened to the JSON documentation for the API?
This was dropped intentionally.
The problem is that maintaining this sort of meta-api is both intensive (lots of v1.1 was spent not breaking v1.0 because of the way introspection was working) and of …

Is there any way we could have more information about tags in /questions?
So... no, I'm status-declined-ing this. Fetching that sort of data for each tag on each question becomes unpleasantly slow when you're dealing with batches of questions (which most request are).

Add last_access_date field to the shallow_user object
The shallow_user type contains only fields that are "fast" to fetch, as it's always returned as a member of other (potentially expensive to fetch) types.
Accordingly, we can't add any fields to shall …

Site categories in API?
Categories aren't sufficiently stable to expose in the API.
It is entirely possible (even likely, in my opinion) that we'll revisit and rework the proposal categorization significantly in the coming …

Relevance value on /similar route
There actually isn't much sensible that we could return as a "relevance rank", what we essentially get out of Lucene is just the order of posts to return.
Internally, relevance ordering doesn't make …

Can we have a flag for sites with mature content?
The Sexuality site was an experiment, one which failed.
We may revisit this in the future, but for now there's no point in the flag as it's one use case is gone.

Self-mined Badge Progress via 2.0+ API
I'm declining this, not because I don't see the merit in it, but because we don't have the data to return in anything approaching a reasonable time.
Our badge awarding code is very complex, and inten …

How about a regex filter in the tags API?
No, we won't be implementing this.
Not that I don't see a use case for it, but we'd never be able to accept and execute arbitrary regular expressions against the database. It'd just be far too easy …

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.

Add reputation and site URL to 1.1 associated accounts
Unfortunately, there are no performance savings to be had if reputation is returned; this is simple the way the Stack Exchange network works at the moment.
I will say that I'm hoping that by API 2.0 …

No, we still want people looking at updated app listings for vandalism and the like.
