Does verifying OAuth2 `access_token` validity count towards API call quota?
Yes, calls to /access-tokens/{accessTokens} use API quota. You can see that by repeatedly running /2.2/access-tokens/XBWL0stf*YIOCl7WpJHqYA)) for example.
With each call, the quota_remaining value w …

Encoding type of display_name
That is not URL encoding, that is HTML entity encoding.
By default, the API returns "safe" values; see the filters doc:

Search function in the API doesn't work as expected
Although it doesn't appear to say so in the doc page, intitle expects an exact phrase, not a list of words.
You can currently see this by:

Why API Version 2.2 returns null always while getting questions list?
Several things:
You appear to be trying to use Soapi.CS -- which is way obsolete and using an old API version that no longer functions. If you are going to use .net, try one of the more recent libr …

What does "in practice" mean here?
Strictly speaking, that line is incorrect. The method will always return a JSON object (barring certain server failures).
But the items array will be empty or missing.
On success, the default objec …

Can we find the time of a vote using the API?
Obviously, vote time data is sensitive and censored to protect voter anonymity.
So, scanning the list of available objects in the API, we see that:
A user's downvote times can be obtained via the / …

Comments have incorrect `can_flag` values for at least 2 different API routes
I can't replicate the bug as stated; both /questions/{ids} and /comments/{ids} give the same results which are:
can_flag is false for my comments. (Correct behavior)
can_flag is true for comment …

Implicit OAuth flow puts the access token in the hash?
No, you can't get the access_token in the query/search part of the URL. This would be a security leak that would allow 3rd parties to see your access_tokens on the web.

I don't think that's a bug, for implicit OAuth. Anyway, if I understand RFC 6749 correctly, that is not how you are supposed to do such extra checks.

How can I filter events by event_type?
There is currently no method to filter events by event_type.
For now, just load all the events and filter through the event_type values afterwards. Since the /events route only covers the last 15 mi …

What does `total` in the /notifications route represent?
This is a bug. I've tagged your question accordingly.
total, in the wrapper object, should always be the length of the items array, after concatenating all pages of results.

`body` of `inbox_item` returning only excerpt, not full body
An inbox message body is not the same as a post body. Inbox messages are truncated by design.

Possible to get a user's flag history?
Nope.
Neither the user_timeline object, nor the user object return any flagging information, at all. (as of API version 2.2).
The question, answer, and comment objects can return a can_flag boolean, …

Why is comment_count=1 (incorrectly) when this particular filter is used?
Confirmed the bug on a post that accrues comments much slower than a typical Stack Overflow question does.
Currently, the OP's filter returns "comment_count": 1 on that post. There are no comments.
