Remove 100 post limit or provide way to view them all completed
To quote Greg Hewgill:
>So, it looks like the user profile page has been "improved" (2009-01-10) to only list the a user's top 100 posts. This appears to be true for viewing other profiles as well as your own.
>Anyway, the result of this change is that the reputation tracker is now fundamentally broken. Somehow we'll need to gain the attention of Jeff&co to revert this or provide an alternate access mechanism suitable for third party scripts
- Greg Hewgill - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/61553/track-your-reputation#430843
Because it only shows the top 100 posts this makes it impossible to track new post that are gaining negative scores (so that they could be removed or improved) using the user page or services that depend on it.
We are making the following JSON method public:
http://stackoverflow.com/users/{userid}/rep/{startDate}/{endDate}
Where {startDate} and {endDate} = Date formatted mm-dd-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd
And {userid} = the stackoverflow user id as before.
This will return an aggregate reputation change value for each question that a user has participated, a post title, and a post ID which you can use to create a URL back to the original question on SO.
Let me know if you have any questions – we will be delivering other public methods for aggregating reputation in the near future and will keep you in the loop as these evolve.
A general disclaimer: This is still in early testing, so it’s possible this may change.

the JSON /rep/ URL seems to be broken, as it brings up a Page Not Found message

The date selection on the bottom of the page helps. But I have to explicitly select all dates to get each of my answers in a list. Compared to the listing in the Stats tab, this is a pain. In addition, you have to use a little scroll bar on the side rather than the one on the browser. That's a ton of unneeded mousing.
Why is this so hard?

The new gizmo at the bottom of the Reputation page to allow explicit date ranges is nice - thanks.

While the JSON request is welcome I would prefer a solution that allows you to view all your questions via the stackoverflow site. Therefore I've voted for jericson's new suggestion: http://stackoverflow.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/105072-let-me-see-my-worst-answers-

@Konrad: I never had any problem (speed or other) to load my user page! This page is rather lightweight, mostly textual, not a problem for most modern browsers.

With all due respect - the JSON file is not the answer that helps me. I'd like to be able to view the information on StackOverflow in a browser, sanely, without having to remember how the URL works. This is not the answer -- what I want back is the ability to see all my postings (at least by request); not having to futz with the data. I use the web; I don't program it.

Ok. How do I see my worst answers. I guess I'll open another suggestion.

@jonskeet: That's only sensible for *recent* posts. Bad answers may be noted years later.

This is really annoying. Every now and then I post something really stupid which gets downvoted to minus eleventy billion but I can't delete it because I can't find it so (a) I keep getting downvoted (b) content that does not make sense does not get removed.

Why not create a user filter:
- top 100
- all answers with >x rep
- all answers with <x rep
- all answers with changed rep in the last day/week/month...
Hm, looks like I'm writing a present list for Santa ;-).

An alternative, which could suit programs which are screen-scraping in order to show recent changes to reputation, would be a page which displays whichever 100 answers contain the most **recent** changes (i.e. created, upvoted, downvoted, and/or accepted).

More arguments at http://stackoverflow.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/101615-allow-to-see-more-than-100-answers as I didn't saw this one when making my own... (even after varying the title to see if there was any dupe!).

Hmmm... new votes actually seem to be coming through okay. Not sure what's happened, really...

The timestamp-to-timestamp URL format doesn't work now (as of about half an hour ago). It's still giving JSON back, but the times seem off. Very strange.

Consider userpages with 500+ answers, they are practically unusable! So the change to the userpages was definitely the right thing to do. Rather, Jeff should give us an AJAX-y API to get all the answers, like it's already done for http://stackoverflow.com/users/UID/timestamp-from/timestamp-to. See http://pastie.org/354561 for an example how to use it (again, thanks Jon).
