Scrape Stack Overflow and 170+ Stack Exchange Q&A sites through the official Stack Exchange API v2.3 — no browser, no proxies, no API key required.
What you get
Question rows — title, direct link, score, view count, answer count, answered/accepted flags, tags, asker name + reputation, creation & last-activity dates.
Answer rows — the top-voted answers for each question with full body text (HTML stripped to clean text), score, accepted-answer flag, author name + reputation, and creation date.
Key features
- 15 curated sites in a dropdown: Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Super User, Ask Ubuntu, DBA, Security, Data Science, DevOps, and more — or query any of the 170+ network sites
- Keyword + tag search with 4 sort orders (votes, activity, newest, relevance)
- Smart filters: date windows (from/to) and minimum score
- Backoff-respecting: honors the API's
backoffsignal so your runs never get banned - Optional API key: 300 requests/day free per IP without a key; add a free Stack Apps key for 10,000/day
- Never silently empty: empty input returns a setup-guide row; API errors become readable error rows
Input
Type keywords into searchQuery, tags into tags (or both), pick a site and sort order, run. That's it.
