 just centered around one search, but to have also other corollary
 features.

 Ah, cool, I wasn't sure about that.  Great! :)

 providing me with such list?

 Yes, Onionoo would provide you with such lists.

 I'm not sure what other lists would be useful to have.  That makes it
 difficult to design a good API.  How about a URL like this (''not
 implemented yet''):

 {{{
 GET details/relays?orderby=-bwhist&limit=10
 }}}

 The `-bwhist` would mean "in descending order," but we could also add a
 `desc` parameter or something.  The result would have its relay elements
 in sorted order, rather than unsorted as they are right now.

 Of course, we could allow the same parameters for all other resources and
 URLS, too.

 This feels like designing a database interface.  I wonder if there are
 databases providing us with such an interface.  I could rewrite Onionoo to
 be just the database importer and let the database do the hard work that
 databases are designed for.  Hmmm.
