Provide ability to retrieve `visibility` level via Snippets API
Description
The Snippets API provides a convenient way to manage snippets and integrate into third-party applications.
As the Snippets API currently stands, a user can create or update a snippet with a given visibility level (private | internal | public). However, there is no way to ascertain the current visibility level of the snippet via the API.
GET /snippets/:id
{
"id": 1,
"title": "test",
"file_name": "add.rb",
"description": "Ruby test snippet",
"author": {
"id": 1,
"username": "john_smith",
"email": "john@example.com",
"name": "John Smith",
"state": "active",
"created_at": "2012-05-23T08:00:58Z"
},
"expires_at": null,
"updated_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z",
"created_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z",
"web_url": "http://example.com/snippets/1",
}
Proposal
Return visibility level when retrieving snippet data via the API.
Eg. (note 5th line in JSON)
{
"id": 1,
"title": "test",
"file_name": "add.rb",
"description": "Ruby test snippet",
"visibility": "internal",
"author": {
"id": 1,
"username": "john_smith",
"email": "john@example.com",
"name": "John Smith",
"state": "active",
"created_at": "2012-05-23T08:00:58Z"
},
"expires_at": null,
"updated_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z",
"created_at": "2012-06-28T10:52:04Z",
"web_url": "http://example.com/snippets/1",
}

Use cases
By knowing the current snippet visibility level, a third-party integration can display current visibility and manage visibility level.
