Get favorited tags of user

UPDATE: The feature appears to be present in the, so far, undocumented API version 2.3. See captncraig's answer on this page. After all these years, it looks like this might never get implemented. …

Getting historical data for careers?

Currently, the Stack Exchange API has nothing to do with Stack Overflow Careers. Anyway, there is no API for accessing Stack Overflow Careers job listings. Best you can do is grab the most recent 10 …

/tags search multiple words ("or") inname

There is no need for a special API route, "OR" logic is easy to implement. Merely search for each term separately and then merge the results. For example, if I wanted tags that had either javascript …

API access to the /10m ("Thank you") web page?

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 …

Accessing Authenticated User's Close/Delete History

This is currently not possible via the API. The best you could do is have the user logged into a browser and then screen-scrape the stackoverflow.com/users/{user_id}/?tab=votes pages... Hardly an …

Inbox item not marked as read after viewing

Update: Op followed the advice, below, and changed the question from a bug to a feature-request. This is not really a bug. Right at the top of the API documentation, it states that the API is rea …

Please provide an API "flair"-data call (`/associated` route is inadequate)

A unified call would be nice, but everything you asked for falls into one of 3 categories: It's already in the users/{ids}/associated call. It's trivially easy to calculate in the app or script. EG: …

Add the 'people reached' count to the API?

Until the feature request is approved (unlikely, and a similar request has no developer love either), you can get this number in one of 3 ways: You can get slightly stale data with this SEDE query ( …
