How to get all questions with a specific tag between certain dates

Question

I would like to get all questions created and tagged with tag "R" between 2 dates.

I'm using parameters: tagged = R, sort = creation, fromdate and todate set to appropriate dates and site = stackoverflow.

However I get results of length 30 which is the page size and default setting.

Is it possible to get all the results using one query or do I need to loop using parameter page?

Yes, you need to page through the results. See the doc page on paging.

So, you would probably want to set the max pagesize(100) and then make a sequence of calls. EG:

• /2.2/questions?page=1&pagesize=100&order=desc&sort=activity&tagged=r
• /2.2/questions?page=2&pagesize=100&order=desc&sort=activity&tagged=r
• /2.2/questions?page=3&pagesize=100&order=desc&sort=activity&tagged=r
• etc.

Be sure to monitor and honor the backoff, error_id, and has_more flags.
