Stack Exchange

Read the whole Stack Exchange network (Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Ask Ubuntu, Super User and 180 more sites) from one connection. Search questions and answers, watch a tag for new questions, follow what is said about your product, look up a person's reputation, badges and best work, browse tags, collectives and moderators, and read any post, comment, revision or timeline by id.

Search questions	The fullest search the API offers, and the one most workflows want.
Search users	Find someone by display name, or read the site's leaderboard when no name is given.

Find recent questions

Find questions asked inside a window that moves with the clock (the last hour, day, week or month, counted from the moment the step runs), newest first. This is the one to put on a schedule: a fixed date range would return the same questions on every run and then go empty, while this always looks at what has just been asked. Narrow it by tag to watch a technology you support.

Inputs

Asked withinwithintext: How far back to look, measured from when the step runs. Defaults to the last 24 hours.One of: last_hour (The last hour), last_24_hours (The last 24 hours), last_7_days (The last 7 days), last_30_days (The last 30 days).
Taggedtaggedtext: Only include questions carrying every one of these tags. This is an AND: two tags mean questions that have both, so more than about five will always come back empty. Leave empty for no tag filter.
Sitesitetext: Which Stack Exchange site to ask. Defaults to Stack Overflow. The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since.
Results per pagepage_sizenumber: How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.From 1 to 100.
Pagepagenumber: Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.At least 1.
Include post bodyinclude_bodytrue/false: Fetch the full text of each post as well as its summary. Off by default because bodies are large; turn it on to summarise, search or quote the text. Each result then carries the site's HTML in 'body' and a plain-text rendering in 'body_text'.

Inputs

Hypothetical titletitletextRequired: The title to find matches for, written as a question would be.
Preferred tagstaggedtext: Tags to prefer. This is a hint, not a filter: results are not guaranteed to carry them.

Orderordertext: Which end of the sort to start from. Defaults to descending.One of: desc (Descending: highest or newest first), asc (Ascending: lowest or oldest first).
Created on or afterfrom_datedate: Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound.
Created on or beforeto_datedate: Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound.
Minimum valuemin_valuenumber: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number: a score for the score sort, a reputation for the reputation sort. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Maximum valuemax_valuenumber: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Minimum datemin_datedate: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date: last activity for the activity sort, for instance. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Maximum datemax_datedate: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Results per pagepage_sizenumber: How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.From 1 to 100.

Get a tag's top users

Get the people who answer, or ask, best in one tag, with their score and post count on it, over the last month or over all time. This is the 'who should we ask about X' lookup, and the month window is the one that finds who is active now rather than who was in 2012.

Inputs

Get a user's account merges

Get the account ids that were merged into a network account, with the date of each merge. An id that has stopped resolving has usually been merged rather than deleted, and this is what turns the old id into the current one: the fix for a stored id that suddenly returns nothing.

Inputs

Either way this is how a workflow walks outwards from one question to the rest of the conversation around it.

Inputs

Question IDsquestion_idstextRequired: The questions to read, by their numeric ids. Up to 100 at a time, separated by commas.
Connectionrelationshiptext: Which connection to follow. Defaults to linked questions.One of: linked (Linked: questions whose text links to this one), related (Related: the site's similarity ranking).
Sitesitetext: Which Stack Exchange site to ask. Defaults to Stack Overflow. The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since.
Sort bysorttext: How to order the results. Defaults to last activity. The minimum and maximum below bound whichever field this sorts by, which is why there is a value pair and a date pair: use the one that matches the sort chosen here. Sorts marked (no range) order by a formula rather than a field, so they cannot be narrowed with the minimum and maximum below.One of: activity (Last activity), creation (Creation date), votes (Score), rank (How closely connected (no range)).
Orderordertext: Which end of the sort to start from. Defaults to descending.One of: desc (Descending: highest or newest first), asc (Ascending: lowest or oldest first).
Created on or afterfrom_datedate: Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound.
Created on or beforeto_datedate: Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound.
Minimum valuemin_valuenumber: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number: a score for the score sort, a reputation for the reputation sort. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Maximum valuemax_valuenumber: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Minimum datemin_datedate: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date: last activity for the activity sort, for instance. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Maximum datemax_datedate: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Results per pagepage_sizenumber: How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.From 1 to 100.
Pagepagenumber: Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.At least 1.
Include post bodyinclude_bodytrue/false: Fetch the full text of each post as well as its summary. Off by default because bodies are large; turn it on to summarise, search or quote the text. Each result then carries the site's HTML in 'body' and a plain-text rendering in 'body_text'.

List privileges

List what each reputation threshold unlocks on a site, from posting at 1 to the moderator tools at 10,000. Sites differ, so this is how to answer 'how much reputation do I need to do X here' without guessing.

Inputs

Sitesitetext: Which Stack Exchange site to ask. Defaults to Stack Overflow. The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since.
Results per pagepage_sizenumber: How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.From 1 to 100.
Pagepagenumber: Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.At least 1.

List questions

Read a site's questions: all of them, or one of the three feeds the site publishes: Featured (a bounty is open), No answers (not a single answer yet), or Unanswered (answers, but none upvoted or accepted). Filter by tag and by date, order by activity, score, creation or the site's own hot/week/month rankings, and read back each question with its tags, score, view and answer counts, whether an answer is accepted, and its author.

Inputs

Feedfeedtext: Which of the site's question feeds to read. Defaults to all questions. 'No answers' means not one answer has been posted; 'Unanswered' is the site's own looser definition: answers exist but none has been upvoted or accepted.One of: all (All questions), featured (Featured: a bounty is open), no_answers (No answers at all), unanswered (Unanswered: no accepted or upvoted answer).
Taggedtaggedtext: Only include questions carrying every one of these tags. This is an AND: two tags mean questions that have both, so more than about five will always come back empty. Leave empty for no tag filter.
Sitesitetext: Which Stack Exchange site to ask. Defaults to Stack Overflow. The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since.
Sort bysorttext: How to order the results. Defaults to last activity. The minimum and maximum below bound whichever field this sorts by, which is why there is a value pair and a date pair: use the one that matches the sort chosen here. Sorts marked (no range) order by a formula rather than a field, so they cannot be narrowed with the minimum and maximum below. The hot, week and month rankings are only published for the 'All questions' feed.One of: activity (Last activity), creation (Creation date), votes (Score), hot (Hot: the site's hot list (no range)), week (Hot this week (no range)), month (Hot this month (no range)).
Orderordertext: Which end of the sort to start from. Defaults to descending.One of: desc (Descending: highest or newest first), asc (Ascending: lowest or oldest first).
Created on or afterfrom_datedate: Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound.
Created on or beforeto_datedate: Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound.
Minimum valuemin_valuenumber: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number: a score for the score sort, a reputation for the reputation sort. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Maximum valuemax_valuenumber: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a number. Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date.
Minimum datemin_datedate: Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date: last activity for the activity sort, for instance. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Maximum datemax_datedate: Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date. Use the value bounds instead when sorting by a number.
Results per pagepage_sizenumber: How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.From 1 to 100.
Pagepagenumber: Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.At least 1.
Include post bodyinclude_bodytrue/false: Fetch the full text of each post as well as its summary. Off by default because bodies are large; turn it on to summarise, search or quote the text. Each result then carries the site's HTML in 'body' and a plain-text rendering in 'body_text'.

Search for excerpts

The same search as 'Search questions', answered the way a site's own search page answers it: a highlighted snippet per hit, and answers as well as questions.

Search question titles

Search titles and tags only: the API's deliberately narrow search. Its one distinctive trick is that its tag list is an OR: each result carries at least one of the tags given, where every other tag filter in this integration requires all of them. That makes it the way to watch several tags at once. For anything more, use 'Search questions'.

Inputs

Words in the titlein_titletext: Words to match in the question title. Give this, tags, or both; the API requires at least one of them.
Tagged with any oftaggedtext: Match questions carrying at least one of these tags. Unlike everywhere else, this is an OR.
