I'm playing with the write API, and I'd like to simply retag a question. This is the code I have so far: $editURL = 'https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions/' . $question->{"question_id"} . '/edit'; echo 'https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions/' . $question->{"question_id"} . '/edit'; $editData = array('site' => 'stackoverflow', 'preview' => 'true', 'id' => $question->{"question_id"}, 'key' => "6Z09liTt4uTQU*a4DYOXVQ((", 'access_token' => $access_token, 'title' => $question->{"title"}, 'body' => $question->body_markdown, 'tags' => $taglist, 'comment' => 'rm [' . $tag . '] tag'); print_r($editData); $options = array( 'http' => array( 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded, Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=0, compress;q=0\r\n", 'method' => 'POST', 'content' => http_build_query($editData), 'ignore_errors' => true, ), ); $context = stream_context_create($options); print_r(gzdecode(file_get_contents($editURL, false, $context))); When I turn `preview` to `false`, it works and retags the question. However, it also adds in some HTML entities (like encoding stuff, `"e` and whatnot) to the title and body. Is there a way to not bother with passing the existing title and markdown and just editing the tags?
