This tag is for questions about the use of, or documentation of, the Stack Exchange Application Programming Interface (API).
The Stack Exchange API provides easy programmatic read/write access to the more common functions of the Q&A sites in the Stack Exchange network.
For example, it allows programs to read and write: questions, answers, and comments.
