This is very costly to do in the API and currently impossible for many combinations of tag and date (because it would require more than the 10,000 allowed API calls per day).
I'll write more about that tomorrow (11/11 or 11/12 UTC).
Meanwhile, perhaps a SEDE query will work?
The query: Top Answerers, by your tags and your date range takes your date range and up to 4 tags and lists the top-performing answers.
Here it is for [azure-web-sites] for the first week of November:
User Score Uncapped Rep Up votes Dwn votes Accepted Ans Bounties ------------- ----- ------------ -------- --------- ------------ -------- David Ebbo 11 170 11 0 4 0 Joe Raio 5 80 5 0 2 0 Gaurav Mantri 4 55 4 0 1 0 Amit Apple 2 20 2 0 0 0 Chris Gillum 2 35 2 0 1 0 David Makogon 2 20 2 0 0 0 etc., etc...
Keep in mind that SEDE data is only updated once a week.:
- SEDE data is only updated once a week.
- If User
0appears, that is the sum for all the deleted or unregistered users. It's amusing to note that0can often be a top performer for a given tag and date combo. :)
