Question: How do you request all Tags?
I find it hard to understandRetrieving a list of tags on a given Stack Exchange site with Stack.PY is relatively straightforward:
from stackpy import Site
sa = Site('stackapps')
for t in sa.tags:
print t
How do youHowever, this will only fetch the first 30 tags. The tricky part is fetching more than one page. You can fetch any particular page by sticking .page(n)
on the end of the request chain (where n
is the page to fetch).
If we rewrite the loop a bit, we end up with:
from itertools import count
from stackpy import Site
sa = Site('stackapps')
for p in count(1):
tags = sa.tags.page(p)
for t in tags:
print t
if not tags['has_more']:
break
The example above uses a generator that will yield an infinite list of consecutive page numbers to fetch all Tags?of the pages. When the has_more
property is set to false
in the JSON returned by the API, the loop will terminate.
