Free Stack Overflow search tool. Search questions on Stack Overflow — or any Stack Exchange site (Server Fault, Super User, Ask Ubuntu…) — by free-text query and required tags, using the official Stack Exchange API (no fragile HTML scraping). Each question comes back as clean JSON: title, direct link, score, view count, answer count, accepted answer, tags, creation and last-activity dates, and owner info. This Actor is free — you only pay for your own Apify platform usage.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
queries | array | Free-text search queries (one search per query). |
tagged | string | Optional semicolon-separated tags every result must have (e.g. node.js;typescript). |
sort | string | relevance (default), votes, activity or creation. |
maxResultsPerQuery | integer | Cap per query (default 25, max 1000). |
site | string | Stack Exchange site, default stackoverflow. |
Output
{"status": "found","query": "javascript fetch timeout","questionId": 46946380,"title": "Fetch API request timeout?","link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46946380/fetch-api-request-timeout","score": 332,"viewCount": 486553,"answerCount": 18,"isAnswered": true,"acceptedAnswerId": 46946573,"tags": ["javascript", "ajax", "fetch-api"],"createdAt": "2017-10-26T05:23:17.000Z"}
status is found, not_found (query matched nothing) or error. The Actor respects the API's backoff signals and stops before exhausting the shared daily quota.
Use cases
- Content research: find the highest-voted unanswered questions in your niche.
- Developer marketing: monitor questions mentioning your product or SDK.
- Build FAQ/knowledge bases from real developer pain points.
- Trend analysis on tags and topics over time.
Limitations & fair use
Uses the public (keyless) Stack Exchange API quota shared per IP (~300 requests/day). For heavy use, run smaller batches. Data © Stack Exchange Inc., CC BY-SA.
