Thank you for working with us to expand and improve the Glitch API. 
My now rather dated bulk auction tool is in the process of getting a vastly needed overhaul.  The features I would like to see are:
- upgrades.list - tell me what upgrades a user has (useful for my "better to sell it to a vendor" feature pricing model and prevents the user from being required to select the correct level of wheeler dealer from a drop box, for example.)
- auctions.priceCheck - for item X, simply tell me the highest, lowest, and average price.  (right now i have to do a server crushing full auction list to accomplish this.)  [Just realized this is sorta covered by economy.recentSales but is still a server crunching call due to the inability to limit by a single item and by the fact that the historical data must be saved somewhere to be useful in an extended sense.]
- inventory.restack - for a given stack, supply the breakdown of how you would like that stack split up.  Specifically something like "I have a stack of 50 Purple Flowers, and I'd like it to be 10 stacks of 5 instead."  (Bag space being available of course.)
Is there anyway to see progress towards achievments? Such as Egg Poacher Badge - 500/503 eggs harvested.

I've searched everywhere and cannot seem to find it, and if there isn't one, I'd love to request one!
LolZin, 6 posts before your post above, Bees! posted "We don't yet have a way to return progress towards an achievement, but will be able to add that some time in the future."
Tomc, Aw ok I must have missed that. Hopefully we will see this sometime soon!
Any hope of adding item_defs support to the economy.recentSDBs method?
Add a log of what players do on your street with or without a time stamp (time stamp preferred). For example: 09:23 a.m. Vavoom picked 8 Yellow Crumb Flowers - 09:23 a.m. Vavoom weeded 8 plots - 09:23 a.m. Vavoom watered 8 plots - 09:24 a.m. Vavoom planted 8 yellow crumb flowers. Having a link to a name is not enough. Having this feature will allow for rewards from glitch to glitch when applicable for having done such note/post requests as "this plot is free to the public, but please replant. Enjoy!".
How hard would it be to add an API method for getting all upgrades a player has attained?
I need them for some skill learning time calculations and refuse to screen-scrape for it.
For that matter, an upgrades.listAll and upgrades.getInfo would be great :)
Hi I would like to have a pet, a pet that follows me almost everywhere =)
The economy methods can now optionally return item defs
The auctions.priceCheck request is a good one, but we don't have that data easily to hand at the moment.
There's currently a method to retrieve snaps taken by a player, but not one for snaps that they appear in. A method to retrieve published snaps containing a specified player (similar to what appears on the "snaps of" profile pages) could be useful.
Thank you for adding the methods for finding information about Upgrades to the requests list.

I'm looking quite forward to that (as are quite a few other people, I'm sure.) :p
