I found that the [API documentation](https://www.beeminder.com/api) was missing a few things about the goal resource, so I’ve added them above. Hopefully one of the devs can help out with more information and turn it into a wiki post so we can keep it updated. ---

Thanks so much, @insti! I’m making it my [mustdo](http://blog.beeminder.com/mustdo "Have I mentioned how brilliant this post is? Thanks again to Alice Harris!") for tomorrow to get the API docs up to speed with these parameters. ---

And done! [bmndr.com/api](http://beeminder.com/api) Thanks again, @insti. Calling this a [UVI](http://messymatters.com/uvi "Have you read our article about 1000 User-Visible Improvements to Beeminder? It's very good if we do say so ourselves.") too: > ---
