How to ask SO-ChatBot to retrieve specific questions? #281

Closed kw-andy closed 8 years ago

kw-andy commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I've just called the bot in our room. I would like to program it to be able to retrieve interesting questions from SO, for the users. But how can I do it?

Thanks

That isn't within the scope of SO Chatbot. There are other bots which parse the main site (example: https://github.com/charcoal-se/smokedetector) which are more suitable for this type of thing. Zirak can chime in and re-open if he feels this is something that would be beneficial for this project.

Oh hi, sorry for missing this issue! This actually used to be a part of the bot, sort of. It was called /get, was removed some time ago because nobody besides me used it.

It mostly went around and used the SE API, so suiting it to your needs is really figuring out that API.

You can always ping me in the js room if you need anything.
