Add a 'AddedDate' field for pastes
With the current API, for the paste model it is mentioned that the paste date is only included if it is known, and that this value may be null.
Can you please consider adding a 'date reported' field to the paste model, which would simply be the timestamp of when a given breach is reported by HIBP. That would give a usable reference point as to the possible age / currency of the paste, in the event that the regular date value isn't known.
This would also be consistent with the breach model in the API, that differentiates between 'BreachDate' and 'AddedDate'. So in the pastes model, the 'PasteDate' might be null, but the 'AddedDate' would never be null
So I thought this was a good idea, until I looked at the underlying schema I’d implemented. tl;dr – I don’t capture and store that information in a fashion that makes this request feasible. Sorry!
