Kind of tend to agree with George on this one. It would be nice to be able to fetch the info for one particular badge.

Yep, that is a no repro currently. questions gives me ~700K, unanswered gives me ~100K. Must've been fixed while tweaking other stuff.

@Kevin - I was actually hoping for both. The help?json would return formalized list of all available API methods; the help?/method?method=...&json would return a formalized description of the parameters.

I was thinking about building a console-type app, that uses the JSON representation of the help for autocomplete and for showing a plain text help in the app. Another scenario would be automatic proxy building against newer version of the API. In general, a JSON representation of the help can help with any scenarios where one needs automated API discovery/enumeration, kind of like a JSON WSDL.

@George ping me offline, we'll chat a bit more on this one if you're interested in building it together.

Here are some other alternative names - AntiObjects, LateBinding (the .org is still free), WeaklyTyped and the obvious ChatOverflow, StackOverchat.

Well, the obvious one would be SmallTalk, wouldn't it? After all, it's all about passing messages related to programming... :-) Unfortunately, that domain is taken by a squatter. :-(

A web page, please. :-)

Should probably be rolled into the Discovery API feature request (stackapps.com/questions/30/should-there-be-a-discovery-api)

This was already requested - stackapps.com/questions/78/official-status-site-page-banner

/stats is version-specific. you need to know if particular API version exists before calling it.

@Kevin Montrose - you can mark this one as completed; it's been working properly whole day from corpnet.

I just wanted to give the OP a slightly different perspective. When you ask somebody to give their hard work for free to benefit others, you also need to consider what the impact on them is.

I don't expect the end users to be making no key requests. They would be using an already developed app that comes with a key.
