Stack Overflow Scraper

Export Stack Overflow questions, answers, tags and users to JSON, CSV, Excel or straight into your app. It works on every Stack Exchange site (Server Fault, Super User, Ask Ubuntu, Mathematics, Data Science and 170+ more).

It uses the official Stack Exchange API, so you don't need a login, proxies or a browser, and nothing breaks when the site's layout changes.

What can you do with it?

• Market and product research: find the questions developers ask most about your tool, library or competitor.
• Content ideas and SEO: pull the highest-voted unanswered questions in a tag and write the answers people are searching for.
• Build AI / RAG datasets: export questions and accepted answers with full bodies for a topic. Content is CC BY-SA, and attribution links are included.
• Developer relations: track new questions about your product every day with a scheduled run.
• Hiring and community research: list top users by reputation for a tag or location.

How to use it

1. Pick What to export (Questions, Search, Answers, Tags or Users).
2. Optionally add tags, a search text, a date range or a minimum score.
3. Set Max results and click Start.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or connect them to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or your own code through the Apify API.

Tip: The free Stack Exchange quota is 300 API requests per day per IP (about 30,000 results). For bigger jobs, register a free key at stackapps.com and paste it into Stack Exchange API key. That raises the limit to 10,000 requests a day.

Pricing

You pay only for results you get, with no monthly fee. The price per 1,000 results is shown on the pricing tab.

FAQ

Is this legal? Yes. It uses Stack Exchange's public, official API within its published rate limits. Content on Stack Exchange is licensed CC BY-SA, so keep the attribution links (url) if you republish it.

Can I scrape other Stack Exchange sites? Yes. Put the site's API name in Site, for example serverfault, superuser, askubuntu, math or unix.

Why did my run stop early? Either there were no more matching results, or the daily API quota ran out. Add a free API key to fix the latter.
