23h	comment	How can we Call Api (By some URL)with API key and token? Thanks for the info, @TimStone. I'm wondering if it's worth a bug/feature-request. NARQ seems slightly more productive and less insulting than "noise or pointless". ;) Figure we should assume that people post in good faith -- at least at first, at least usually.
23h	comment	How can we Call Api (By some URL)with API key and token? @TimStone, shouldn't this be closed as "Not a Real Question" until (if) the OP reads the FAQ and improves it?
1d	comment	Stack Overflow Instant Search Looks promising. It should display the number of posts found and the number displayed, though.
May 16	comment	Application stats are completely broken. Seeing the same problem. Stats are reporting zero traffic.
May 15	comment	Get all sites of type “main_site” You're welcome! You can open a feature request for such a filter/search. I doubt it will get approved, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
May 9	comment	The 2.1, “similar” path is returning empty results Seems to be working now. If it happens again, try to capture (and post in the Question) the exact path+query+filter versus the exact JSON results.
May 8	comment	Why does my request for pagesize=100 only return 30 results? Are you monitoring the `backoff`, `error_id`, and `quota_remaining` properties?
May 8	comment	Why does my request for pagesize=100 only return 30 results? When I run that path from my own web page or just a direct URL, I get 100 answers, as expected.
Apr 17	comment	Should feature-requests, for third party apps, be flagged as “not an answer”? @NathanOsman, you're a diamond mod. You could write "The official word" on this and probably make it stick (hint, hint). :) Maybe post an answer here stating something like "I will reject such flags until a bigger cheese than me compels otherwise". ;-)
Mar 13	comment	How can I re-authenticate StackAlert Addon Thanks.‍‍‍ +1
Mar 13	comment	How can I re-authenticate StackAlert Addon While this link might answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. They are also somewhat misleading to searchers and violate the SE goal of being an answer source, rather than a limited search engine/referrer.
Mar 11	comment	Get accepted answers from Stack Overflow using Stack Overflow API 2.1 Requests are limited to 100 results at a time, so 5000 answers would take 50 requests. Based on my apps, I'm guessing that would take 10 to 60 seconds, but you'd probably only have to do it every few hours, if that.
Mar 11	comment	Get accepted answers from Stack Overflow using Stack Overflow API 2.1 Will do. If it was me, I'd have the app fetch ALL results, then filter to just the accepted answers. Cache that array, and handle paging without any further calls to the API. You could periodically check the `total` parameter, in conjunction with the user's reputation score, to have a good idea if the cache was stale.
Mar 11	comment	Get accepted answers from Stack Overflow using Stack Overflow API 2.1 I'm not a big PHP coder, but I edited the answer to point to a library that appears to help with this kind of thing.
Jan 17	comment	What's an example of the backoff field? Is there some way I can simulate it to test appropriate behavior? Personally, I just have my apps (all low volume), just throw an exception if the `backoff` property is even defined. Hasn't happened yet.
Jan 17	comment	How to login programmatically Logged into the (scraped) page is not the same as logged into, or authorized, for an app. If you want the scraped page to be logged in, an approach like in this answer will work. Your scraper must be cookie and javascript savvy.
Dec 24	comment	SOAPI-EXPLORE: Self-updating single page JavaSript API test harness All the links to `soapi.info` are dead and the site has no DNS entry.
Oct 25	comment	Pretty StackOverflow WARNING! The userscript installed by that `stylebot.me` site contains many malware links and iframes!
Aug 7	comment	Stack Favorites: A basic organizer of your StackOverflow favorites Okay, seems to work now, thanks.
Aug 6	comment	Stack Favorites: A basic organizer of your StackOverflow favorites Thanks @Anton, but now I don't get any results, just the orange "throbber" (`loader.gif`), although the JSONP get returns 91 results. .. The error console shows: `Error: TypeError: tags[tag].questions is undefined` at line 110.
