I created one app to post questions to Stack Exchange Websites. While checking in doc page of my application, i.e., https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/create-question, the question is posted. If I do it repeatedly, my account would be suspended. Is there any test Stack Exchange website to check this?

Also, if I am checking my application, then posting many questions also would be a problem. So, do we have a solution for this?

    For testing purposes, you can set preview parameter to true so your question will not be written to StackExchange database.

  • Can you post this as answer to the question? I checked it by repeatedly running the same function. Its not giving me any error that this question is already asked. Although, it doesn't give all the parameters as requested, like question_id. Also, give reference.

The answer to this question is the same to your other question about preview parameter.

As @BrockAdams mentioned in a comment to one of my questions previously, you need to set preview parameter to true while testing write API calls.

Please check the other answer for more information.
