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

FieldTypeDescription
queriesarrayFree-text search queries (one search per query).
taggedstringOptional semicolon-separated tags every result must have (e.g. node.js;typescript).
sortstringrelevance (default), votes, activity or creation.
maxResultsPerQueryintegerCap per query (default 25, max 1000).
sitestringStack 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.
