Stack Overflow Question Reader
Uses the public Stack Exchange API. Anonymous usage is rate-limited to ~300 requests per IP per day.
Steps
1. Extract the question ID
From a URL like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12345678/some-slug, the ID is 12345678.
2. Fetch the question body
curl -s --compressed \
"https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/questions/{id}?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody"
3. Fetch the answers
curl -s --compressed \
"https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/questions/{id}/answers?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody&sort=votes&order=desc"
The response uses gzip; the --compressed flag is required by the API.
4. Honor backoff
If a response includes a backoff field, do not call the API again for that many seconds.
