Provide a "latest" version for apps that want to keep up
I guarantee that if we did this, a large chunk of the developed apps would rely on /latest and break horrendously every time we rev'ed the API. The end user experience would be bad, developers would …

Auto discover API version?
Beta is an unusual time, in that the version number changes fairly frequently.
Once we're into 1.0, such changes will basically never happen. You'll always be in 1.0, unless you explicitly target a …

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 …

Can we have some sort of notification system?
No.
Its far too late in the v1 game to add something this complex.
Note that the current policy is that you shouldn't be polling faster than once a minute, not two minutes.

Creation of an API 'about' method for the application key being passed
Everything you want here is already implemented, except for next_downtime, which requires a level prescience we don't yet possess.
API version is already served by the /stats method.

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.

Can there be a way to find a user given his email hash?
No.
E-mail hash is a pretty terrible way to determine account association, as there's no uniqueness guarantee. I touched on why account associations - which is a more general case of what you're ask …

Can the server side of the API be open sourced?
The SO engine isn't getting open sourced in the foreseeable future. The API is part of the engine, so it isn't either.
That being said, we do make all of the data "open-source" (cc-wiki, but close e …

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 …

Abstract paged results to enable cleaner libraries
It would make more sense - in my opinion - for a library to abstract the paged nature of results away entirely.
Furthermore, there's no need for the objects exposed by whatever deserialization code t …

Please provide a mechanism for retrieving random questions
You can implement this yourself pretty easily.
A random date range, with todate & fromdate on /questions, will work fine. Basically, pick a random question (via page) from a random hour/day/week/mon …

Rather than remove site from /sites set status close, at least temporarily
If you're persisting data, the omission of the site is enough of a signal that its been removed (for whatever reason).
Keep old sites around indefinitely is just polluting /sites, and removing them a …

Remove [app] questions from active
No, we still want people looking at updated app listings for vandalism and the like.
Plus I dislike the idea of having the active tab differ in meaning only on StackApps. There's still something to …

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 …
