The various `/questions` routes do allow you to simultaneously retrieve answers, if you set the right [filter][1]. 1. Go to [the `/questions` documentation page][2]. 2. Scroll to the Filter Edit Tool: [![Filter edit tool][3]][3] 3. Click on the tool and this dropdown appears: [![Filter dropdown][4]][4] 4. Adjust the filter to return just the fields you want without any cruft: 1. First type `withbody` into the text box and hit <kbd>Enter</kbd>. This presets many of the fields in a good way. 1. Then expand the various groups and adjust which fields are checked. For example, click on `badge_count` and then click the `unselect all badge_count fields` link. 1. It is recommended that you zero out: `badge_count`, `original_question`, `related_site`, and `styling`. These are almost always unneeded clutter. 1. **Here is the critical part:** **Expand the `question` group and check `answers`.** 1. Expand the other fields and **uncheck items you do not want.** You probably do not need to check any additional items, except in the `.wrapper` group. **Be careful about checking [`private_info` properties][5].** If you do have any of these checked, your API calls will fail unless you also pass a valid `access_token`. 5. Click the <kbd>save</kbd> button. 6. If you break the filter, repeat step 4 but enter `!gB7hjL3lhJ*Cnfe63rh6pAm74J(5qrOZKbL` as the starting point. A good starting filter for getting questions with answers is: `!gB7hjL3lhJ*Cnfe63rh6pAm74J(5qrOZKbL`. ======================================================================== ---------- Also note that **you do not need a `key` or an `access_token` for most requests to `/questions`.** It's only needed if your filter returns one of the few protected properties and, since you are fetching all recent questions, these properties will almost never apply anyway.
