Tatoeba API Product Backlog

  • Caching mechanism
  • Pre-fetching/pre-caching mechanism
  • Support for search type ("search type" field in the protocol, corresponding UI elements on the client)
  • Segregate user information from comment information and sentence information. So the API, for example, will allow calls for sentence information excluding user information, or comment information excluding sentence information. This will result in more overall API calls but with fewer packet sizes.
