Make a note here about method inheritance. By calling "sponsors" on the sites interface, you are implicitly going to get "sponsors_summary" as well.

Same goes for "score" and "votes_by_day", "views_summary" and "views_by_day", *_summary etc.

Some methods inherit data from other methods. For instance, by calling "sponsors" on the site interface, you are implicitly going to get "sponsors_summary" as well. This is true for any methods that have both a _summary and a _by_day extended method.

The API omits data when it doesn't have it or it isn't solid. For instance, some sites can have a moderation element with a work_safe attribute. If we are positive of a work_safe value, we will include the moderation element, otherwise we omit it. This means your application must actually verify if the result has the data you are looking for.

YTMND API Method List

Inheritance

Some methods inherit data from other methods. For instance, by calling "sponsors" on the site interface, you are implicitly going to get "sponsors_summary" as well. This is true for any methods that have both a _summary and a _by_day extended method.

Omissions

The API omits data when it doesn't have it or it isn't solid. For instance, some sites can have a moderation element with a work_safe attribute. If we are positive of a work_safe value, we will include the moderation element, otherwise we omit it. This means your application must actually verify if the result has the data you are looking for.
