Usage of /answers/{ids} GET
Discussion
Gets the set of answers identified by ids.
This is meant for batch fetching of questions. A useful trick to poll for updates is to sort by activity, with a minimum date of the last time you polled.
{ids} can contain up to 100 semicolon delimited ids. To find ids programmatically look for answer_id on answer objects.
The sorts accepted by this method operate on the following fields of the answer object:
- activity –
last_activity_date - creation –
creation_date - votes –
score
activity is the default sort.It is possible to create moderately complex queries using
sort, min, max, fromdate, and todate.
This method returns a list of answers.
