Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.
Can't all messages which are chat or careers be excluded by the API. Or just make the API only return type of comments and answers. I can't imagine it would be that hard to filter?
Someone remembered that ;) Still not seen any of the private things, guess I'll have to stick to the /inbox. Annoying how I can't seem to get an answer about how to poll /inbox from a server.
yes It's great except it needs user authenitification/cookies on the site. So I'm pretty sure I can't use Apple Push Notification with it? (ie one server polling it every x minutes for many different users)
@Kevin, but why have one route return markdown and the others HTML, that's inconsistant, and you've just said that using markdown renderer is overkill, and that another request should be made, something that has been previously said should be kept to a minimum.
@Jilouc considering this seems to be the only route which returns markdown over HTML, and previously it was said this was a bug that has been fixed, it's pretty safe to assume that apps have not gone to the trouble of implementing markdown->HTML for this one occasion?
@Kevin you seriously expect apps to convert the markdown in HTML, in order to display it in a user friendly way. I'd love to know how the backend of the API works; if changing this is considered dangerous, it seems the API is held together with bits of tape, and a few kicks.
