About

Deep-fetches specific questions and all of their answers from any Stack Exchange site (Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault, Ask Ubuntu, math.stackexchange, …) via the official API (api.stackexchange.com/2.3, filter=withbody) — no key required for modest volumes.

Give it question URLs (site is inferred from the URL) or bare numeric IDs plus a site name. For each question it emits one question item (title, markdown-converted body, score, views, tags, owner, accepted-answer id) followed by one answer item per answer with score, accepted flag, owner (name, reputation, profile link), created/last-activity dates and the full body converted to readable markdown-ish text with code blocks preserved. Answers are paginated so long threads are captured completely.

Looking to discover questions by tag instead? Use the Stack Overflow Questions Scraper — this one drills into questions you already have.

Input

`questions`* array	Question URLs (any Stack Exchange site) or bare numeric question IDs, one per line.
`site` string	Stack Exchange site API name used for bare numeric IDs (e.g. stackoverflow, superuser, askubuntu, math).(default: "stackoverflow")

  "questions": [
    "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-processing-a-sorted-array-faster-than-processing-an-unsorted-array",
    "927358"
  ],
  "site": "stackoverflow"
}
