Notes

API bugs:

Specific achievements which track recipe unlocks omit this information from the bits array and instead return blank detail objects. (ref)
Daily jumping puzzle achievements include PvP within the flags array. (ref)

^ As with every endpoint a caveat to this is that any content which has not been internally whitelisted will not be retrievable. Several achievements have been known to un-whitelist themselves and their details are therefore no longer visible through the API.
