Question

Reputation gain from edits to tag wikis appear through the API; the API reports them as answers, but fetching them via the /answers route does not work.

Case in point:

My accepted edit (+2 rep)

My reputation report via the API:

{
  "user_id": 23,
  "post_id": 15885,
  "post_type": "answer",
  "positive_rep": 2,
  "negative_rep": 0,
  "on_date": 1296727329
},

The reply for /answers/15885:

{
  "total": 0,
  "page": 1,
  "pagesize": 30,
  "answers": []
}

(/questions/15885 also gives no results.)

I tagged 1.0 because apparently a new version of the API, 1.1, is going live "soon." — badp, Feb 03 '11 at 10:43
interesting tweet discovery! I wonder why Jeff seems to prefer leaking such API relevant information elsewhere rather than announcing it here first (or at least as well) ... — Steffen Opel, Feb 03 '11 at 11:46
@Steffen I think the problem is SOIS iterates too fast to keep us in the loop :D — badp, Feb 03 '11 at 11:51

Reputation gains from suggested edits are no longer returned by that route.

Ah, the joys of backwards compatibility :) – badp Feb 03 '11 at 20:37
