This tool is a part of project I learnt about crawler.

Project is created with:

• Python version: 3.8.10
• Stack Exchange API version: 2.3

Learn more about latest API version.

• stackoverflow API key store in config file (i.e.myconfig.cfg) located in the same directory of this script.

As document said, an API key is NOT compulsory to retrieve question/answer, but for more API quota in this case.

If an application does have an access_token, then the application is on a distinct user/app pair daily quota (defaultsize of 10,000).

Register an API key.

To run this project, spin up terminal locally:

$cd ../stackoverflow-top-qa$ python3 stackoverflow.py [N] [LABEL]

$ python3 stackoverflow.py 4 python
