📊 Stack Exchange Questions Scraper
🚀 Search every question across Stack Overflow and 170+ Stack Exchange sites.
The Stack Exchange Questions Scraper searches across Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Super User, Mathematics, Cross Validated, Ask Ubuntu, Code Review, Game Development, and 170+ other Stack Exchange community sites. Output includes title, full body, tags, score, view count, answer count, accepted answer ID, asker information, creation and last-activity dates.
The full Stack Exchange network spans 170+ communities and contains 20+ million questions on Stack Overflow alone, plus millions more across the rest. Filters run server-side, so a single run can isolate the highest-voted Python questions, every async-await question with 5+ answers, or recent questions about a niche topic.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Developer-marketing teams, NLP/ML pipelines, content marketers, technical writers, recruiter teams | Identify trending dev topics, generate developer content, train code-Q&A models, find user-pain-point articles, source FAQ content |
📋 What the Stack Exchange Questions Scraper does
Five filtering workflows in a single run:
- 🔍 Title search. Match keywords in question titles across the entire network.
- 🌐 Site filter. Pick from 70+ enumerated sites (stackoverflow, superuser, math, etc.).
- 🏷️ Tag filter. Filter by one or many tags (e.g. 'python;asyncio').
- 📊 Sort options. Activity, creation, votes, or relevance.
- ⭐ Score threshold. Filter to questions above a minimum score.
💡 Why it matters: clean, server-side filtering removes the parser-and-pagination work from your team and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: answerCount, creationDate, isAnswered, ownerName, ownerProfileImage, score, tagsText, title, url, viewCount. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
