# 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. App · Publishing & Community · 65 actions. Web page: https://docs.lodol.com/docs/integrations/stack-exchange ## Actions ### 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 within (`within`, text): 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). - Tagged (`tagged`, text): 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. - Site (`site`, text): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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'. **Outputs** - `from_date` (number) - `from_date_iso` (text) - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `questions` (list) - `questions_count` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `total` (number) - `within` (text) **Example output** ```json { "from_date": 1787700000, "from_date_iso": "2026-08-25T19:20:00+00:00", "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "questions": [ { "accepted_answer_id": 11227902, "answer_count": 25, "body": null, "body_text": null, "bounty_amount": null, "bounty_closes_date": null, "bounty_closes_date_iso": null, "closed_date": null, "closed_date_iso": null, "closed_reason": null, "collectives": [], "community_owned_date": null, "community_owned_date_iso": null, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": 1340805096, "creation_date_iso": "2012-06-27T13:51:36+00:00", "is_answered": true, "last_activity_date": 1775626532, "last_activity_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "last_edit_date": 1775626532, "last_edit_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-conditional-processing-of-a-sorted-array-faster", "locked_date": null, "locked_date_iso": null, "owner_account_id": 31692, "owner_display_name": "GManNickG", "owner_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/87234/gmannickg", "owner_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/FkjBe.png?s=256", "owner_reputation": 507347, "owner_user_id": 87234, "owner_user_type": "registered", "protected_date": 1399067470, "protected_date_iso": "2014-05-02T21:51:10+00:00", "question_id": 11227809, "score": 27546, "tags": [ "java", "c++", "performance", "cpu-architecture", "branch-prediction" ], "title": "Why is conditional processing of a sorted array faster than of an unsorted array?", "view_count": 1997358 } ], "questions_count": 1, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "total": 482, "within": "last_24_hours" } ``` ### Find similar questions Give a title as if you were about to ask it, and get back the questions a site would suggest as possible duplicates: the same check the ask page runs while you type. Use it to answer a support ticket with an existing thread, or to see whether something has already been asked before writing it up. **Inputs** - Hypothetical title (`title`, text, required): The title to find matches for, written as a question would be. - Preferred tags (`tagged`, text): Tags to prefer. This is a hint, not a filter: results are not guaranteed to carry them. - Excluded tags (`not_tagged`, text): Tags to rule out. Unlike the preferred tags, this is a hard requirement. - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): 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), `relevance` (How similar (no range)). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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'. **Outputs** - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `questions` (list) - `questions_count` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `title` (text) - `total` (number) **Example output** ```json { "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "questions": [ { "accepted_answer_id": 11227902, "answer_count": 25, "body": null, "body_text": null, "bounty_amount": null, "bounty_closes_date": null, "bounty_closes_date_iso": null, "closed_date": null, "closed_date_iso": null, "closed_reason": null, "collectives": [], "community_owned_date": null, "community_owned_date_iso": null, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": 1340805096, "creation_date_iso": "2012-06-27T13:51:36+00:00", "is_answered": true, "last_activity_date": 1775626532, "last_activity_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "last_edit_date": 1775626532, "last_edit_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-conditional-processing-of-a-sorted-array-faster", "locked_date": null, "locked_date_iso": null, "owner_account_id": 31692, "owner_display_name": "GManNickG", "owner_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/87234/gmannickg", "owner_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/FkjBe.png?s=256", "owner_reputation": 507347, "owner_user_id": 87234, "owner_user_type": "registered", "protected_date": 1399067470, "protected_date_iso": "2014-05-02T21:51:10+00:00", "question_id": 11227809, "score": 27546, "tags": [ "java", "c++", "performance", "cpu-architecture", "branch-prediction" ], "title": "Why is conditional processing of a sorted array faster than of an unsorted array?", "view_count": 1997358 } ], "questions_count": 1, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "title": "How do I sort a dictionary by value?", "total": 30 } ``` ### Get a collective's answers Get the answers posted in a collective, newest activity first: what a vendor's community is actually telling people. **Inputs** - Collectives (`slugs`, text, required): Which collectives to read.

Each result then carries the site's HTML in 'body' and a plain-text rendering in 'body_text'. **Outputs** - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `questions` (list) - `questions_count` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `tag_names` (text) - `total` (number) **Example output** ```json { "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "questions": [ { "accepted_answer_id": 11227902, "answer_count": 25, "body": null, "body_text": null, "bounty_amount": null, "bounty_closes_date": null, "bounty_closes_date_iso": null, "closed_date": null, "closed_date_iso": null, "closed_reason": null, "collectives": [], "community_owned_date": null, "community_owned_date_iso": null, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": 1340805096, "creation_date_iso": "2012-06-27T13:51:36+00:00", "is_answered": true, "last_activity_date": 1775626532, "last_activity_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "last_edit_date": 1775626532, "last_edit_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-conditional-processing-of-a-sorted-array-faster", "locked_date": null, "locked_date_iso": null, "owner_account_id": 31692, "owner_display_name": "GManNickG", "owner_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/87234/gmannickg", "owner_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/FkjBe.png?s=256", "owner_reputation": 507347, "owner_user_id": 87234, "owner_user_type": "registered", "protected_date": 1399067470, "protected_date_iso": "2014-05-02T21:51:10+00:00", "question_id": 11227809, "score": 27546, "tags": [ "java", "c++", "performance", "cpu-architecture", "branch-prediction" ], "title": "Why is conditional processing of a sorted array faster than of an unsorted array?", "view_count": 1997358 } ], "questions_count": 1, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "tag_names": "python", "total": 30 } ``` ### 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** - Tag (`tag_name`, text, required): The single tag to rank within. Unlike the other tag actions, this one takes exactly one. - Ranked by (`users`, text): Defaults to top answerers. One of: `answerers` (Top answerers), `askers` (Top askers). - Period (`period`, text): Defaults to all time. One of: `all_time` (All time), `month` (The last month). - Site (`site`, text): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. **Outputs** - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `period` (text) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `tag_name` (text) - `total` (number) - `users` (list) - `users_count` (number) **Example output** ```json { "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "period": "all_time", "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "tag_name": "python", "total": 30, "users": [ { "post_count": 96, "score": 1024, "user_account_id": 33482, "user_display_name": "Martijn Pieters", "user_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/100297/martijn-pieters", "user_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/6M7Ry.jpg?s=256", "user_reputation": 1122154, "user_user_id": 100297, "user_user_type": "registered" } ], "users_count": 1 } ``` ### 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** - Network account IDs (`account_ids`, text, required): The network accounts to read, by their numeric account ids. This is the network-wide id, not a site user id; every user this integration returns carries both, as 'account_id' and 'user_id'. Up to 100 at a time, separated by commas. - Results per page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.

This is how you find someone's Server Fault id starting from their Stack Overflow profile. It takes the network account id ('account_id' on any user result), not a site user id. **Inputs** - Network account IDs (`account_ids`, text, required): The network accounts to read, by their numeric account ids. This is the network-wide id, not a site user id; every user this integration returns carries both, as 'account_id' and 'user_id'. Up to 100 at a time, separated by commas. - Site types (`types`, text): Limit to main sites or their metas. Leave empty for both. One or more of: `main_site` (Main sites), `meta_site` (Meta sites). - Results per page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.

Takes the network account id ('account_id' on any user result). This is the one call that answers 'what has this person been up to lately', wherever they have been doing it. **Inputs** - Network account ID (`account_id`, number, required): The network account to read. This is the network-wide id ('account_id' on any user result), not a site user id. - Activity types (`types`, text): Limit to particular kinds of activity. Leave empty for all three.

Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Results per page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. **Outputs** - `account_id` (number) - `activity` (list) - `activity_count` (number) - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `total` (number) - `types` (list) **Example output** ```json { "account_id": 11683, "activity": [ { "account_id": 11683, "activity_type": "post", "badge_id": null, "creation_date": 1312208420, "creation_date_iso": "2011-08-01T13:00:20+00:00", "description": null, "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/q/6841333", "post_id": 6841333, "score": 2571, "site": "stackoverflow", "tags": [ "java", "date" ], "title": "Why is subtracting these two times giving a strange result?" } ], "activity_count": 1, "has_more": true, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "quota_remaining": 9987, "total": 1, "types": [ "posts" ] } ``` ### Get a user's answers Get the answers one or more users have written. Sorted by score this is their best work; sorted by creation it is what they have just posted. **Inputs** - User IDs (`user_ids`, text, required): The users to read, by their numeric ids on this site. A user id is site-specific (the same person has a different one on each site) and appears in their profile URL. Up to 100 at a time, separated by commas. - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): How to order the results.

One of: `activity` (Last activity), `creation` (Creation date), `votes` (Score). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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.

Defaults to creation date. 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. One of: `creation` (Creation date), `votes` (Score). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date.

The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since. - Sort by (`sort`, text): 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)). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date.

At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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.

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). - Tagged (`tagged`, text): 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. - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): 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)). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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'. **Outputs** - `feed` (text) - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `questions` (list) - `questions_count` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `total` (number) **Example output** ```json { "feed": "all", "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "questions": [ { "accepted_answer_id": 11227902, "answer_count": 25, "body": null, "body_text": null, "bounty_amount": null, "bounty_closes_date": null, "bounty_closes_date_iso": null, "closed_date": null, "closed_date_iso": null, "closed_reason": null, "collectives": [], "community_owned_date": null, "community_owned_date_iso": null, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": 1340805096, "creation_date_iso": "2012-06-27T13:51:36+00:00", "is_answered": true, "last_activity_date": 1775626532, "last_activity_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "last_edit_date": 1775626532, "last_edit_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-conditional-processing-of-a-sorted-array-faster", "locked_date": null, "locked_date_iso": null, "owner_account_id": 31692, "owner_display_name": "GManNickG", "owner_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/87234/gmannickg", "owner_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/FkjBe.png?s=256", "owner_reputation": 507347, "owner_user_id": 87234, "owner_user_type": "registered", "protected_date": 1399067470, "protected_date_iso": "2014-05-02T21:51:10+00:00", "question_id": 11227809, "score": 27546, "tags": [ "java", "c++", "performance", "cpu-architecture", "branch-prediction" ], "title": "Why is conditional processing of a sorted array faster than of an unsorted array?", "view_count": 1997358 } ], "questions_count": 1, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "total": 2204910 } ``` ### List sites List every site in the Stack Exchange network (around 365 of them including each site's meta), with the exact 'site' value every other action takes, plus its URL, audience, launch date and artwork. This is the action to start from when a workflow has to work out which site to ask. **Inputs** - Results per page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more.

Sorted by creation, newest first, the pending ones are the edits waiting on review: an edit with no approval date and no rejection date is still open. This is the action to schedule if you want to know when the queue is backing up. **Inputs** - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): How to order the results. Defaults to creation date. 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.

One of: `desc` (Descending: highest or newest first), `asc` (Ascending: lowest or oldest first). - Created on or after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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'. **Outputs** - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `suggested_edits` (list) - `suggested_edits_count` (number) - `total` (number) **Example output** ```json { "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "suggested_edits": [ { "approval_date": null, "approval_date_iso": null, "body": null, "body_text": null, "comment": "Fixed spelling and formatting", "creation_date": 1787780000, "creation_date_iso": "2026-08-26T17:33:20+00:00", "post_id": 79998507, "post_type": "question", "proposing_user_account_id": 912336, "proposing_user_display_name": "Igor", "proposing_user_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/945871/igor", "proposing_user_profile_image": "https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/b9b646cc701a?s=256", "proposing_user_reputation": 6506, "proposing_user_user_id": 945871, "proposing_user_user_type": "registered", "rejection_date": null, "rejection_date_iso": null, "suggested_edit_id": 44123456, "tags": [ "css", "right-to-left" ], "title": "RTL vs LTR layout" } ], "suggested_edits_count": 1, "total": 9382614 } ``` ### List tags List a site's tags with their question counts: all of them, or only the ones a moderator must apply, or only the ones a question is required to carry. Sorted by popularity this is the site's own tag page; narrow by name to find a tag you half remember. **Inputs** - Which tags (`tag_type`, text): Defaults to all tags. One of: `all` (All tags), `moderator_only` (Moderator-only tags), `required` (Required tags). - Name contains (`in_name`, text): Only include tags whose name contains this.

Each result says whether it is a question or an answer and carries both ids, so a workflow can go straight from a matching answer to the question it sits on. Use this when you want the matching text, not the whole post. **Inputs** - Search words (`query`, text): Free-text search across the title and body of every question. Give this, or one of the more specific fields below. - Words in the title (`title`, text): Only match questions whose title contains these words. - Words in the body (`body`, text): Only match questions whose body contains these words. - Tagged (`tagged`, text): Only match questions carrying every one of these tags.

The list is fetched from Stack Exchange when the connection is made; use the refresh button if a new site has launched since. - Sort by (`sort`, text): 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), `relevance` (Relevance (no range)). - Order (`order`, text): Which end of the sort to start from.

Use the date bounds instead when sorting by a date. - Minimum date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30.

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 title (`in_title`, text): Words to match in the question title. Give this, tags, or both; the API requires at least one of them. - Tagged with any of (`tagged`, text): Match questions carrying at least one of these tags. Unlike everywhere else, this is an OR. - Not tagged (`not_tagged`, text): Exclude questions carrying any of these tags. Only applied when 'Tagged with any of' is set as well. - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): 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), `relevance` (Relevance (no range)). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): Upper bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date.

At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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.

Search words across a question's title and body, or narrow to the title alone, the body alone, a tag, a linking URL or an author; require a minimum answer or view count; and switch on whether the question is answered, closed, migrated, wiki or carrying a notice. Returns whole questions, ranked by relevance, score, activity or age. **Inputs** - Search words (`query`, text): Free-text search across the title and body of every question.

One of: `desc` (Descending: highest or newest first), `asc` (Ascending: lowest or oldest first). - Created on or after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): 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 date (`max_date`, date): 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 page (`page_size`, number): How many results to return, 1–100. Defaults to 30. From 1 to 100. - Page (`page`, number): Which page of results to return, starting at 1. The result says whether there are more. At least 1. - Include post body (`include_body`, true/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'. **Outputs** - `has_more` (true/false) - `page` (number) - `page_size` (number) - `query` (text) - `questions` (list) - `questions_count` (number) - `quota_remaining` (number) - `site` (text) - `total` (number) **Example output** ```json { "has_more": false, "page": 1, "page_size": 30, "query": "branch prediction", "questions": [ { "accepted_answer_id": 11227902, "answer_count": 25, "body": null, "body_text": null, "bounty_amount": null, "bounty_closes_date": null, "bounty_closes_date_iso": null, "closed_date": null, "closed_date_iso": null, "closed_reason": null, "collectives": [], "community_owned_date": null, "community_owned_date_iso": null, "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0", "creation_date": 1340805096, "creation_date_iso": "2012-06-27T13:51:36+00:00", "is_answered": true, "last_activity_date": 1775626532, "last_activity_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "last_edit_date": 1775626532, "last_edit_date_iso": "2026-04-08T05:35:32+00:00", "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-conditional-processing-of-a-sorted-array-faster", "locked_date": null, "locked_date_iso": null, "owner_account_id": 31692, "owner_display_name": "GManNickG", "owner_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/87234/gmannickg", "owner_profile_image": "https://i.sstatic.net/FkjBe.png?s=256", "owner_reputation": 507347, "owner_user_id": 87234, "owner_user_type": "registered", "protected_date": 1399067470, "protected_date_iso": "2014-05-02T21:51:10+00:00", "question_id": 11227809, "score": 27546, "tags": [ "java", "c++", "performance", "cpu-architecture", "branch-prediction" ], "title": "Why is conditional processing of a sorted array faster than of an unsorted array?", "view_count": 1997358 } ], "questions_count": 1, "quota_remaining": 9987, "site": "stackoverflow", "total": 318 } ``` ### Search users Find someone by display name, or read the site's leaderboard when no name is given. Each result carries reputation, badge counts, location, the reputation they have earned over the last day, week, month, quarter and year, and both ids: the site user id the other user actions take, and the network account id. **Inputs** - Name contains (`in_name`, text): Only include users whose display name contains this. Leave empty to read the whole site, ordered by the sort below. - Site (`site`, text): 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 by (`sort`, text): How to order the results. Defaults to reputation. 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. One of: `reputation`, `creation` (Creation date), `name`, `modified` (Last modified). - Order (`order`, text): 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 after (`from_date`, date): Only include things created on or after this date. Leave empty for no lower bound. - Created on or before (`to_date`, date): Only include things created on or before this date. Leave empty for no upper bound. - Minimum value (`min_value`, number): 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 value (`max_value`, number): 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 date (`min_date`, date): Lower bound on the field the sort orders by, when that field is a date: last activity for the activity sort, for instance.
