We get lots and lots and lots of data reported back to us. We tend to ignore the invalid stuff. You probably should too. :)

Can the API return only the valid WordPress versions?

I spotted this a few weeks ago on an internal API, but it hadn't reached the threshold for the public API's at that point..

Yes, there's some logic to exclude invalid reported data but unfortunately it looks like this particular version number is slipping through, and I'm not sure why :)

I'll get the data excluded and/or excluded from the API outputs at least.

I see the API was fixed. Thank you guys, you can close this ticket.

BTY, I use this API in DisplayWP to generate wordpress stats and infographics. The wrong wordpress version has weird effect on the data.

It had a weird effect on the WordPress.org charts too :)

I removed the bad data a few days ago, and confirmed that code exists to exclude it from the index in future. I believe I know why it ended up in there in the first place too.
