Basic Usage

import { StackOverflowSDK } from 'so-teams-sdk';

const sdk = new StackOverflowSDK({
  accessToken: 'your-access-token',
  baseUrl: 'https://[your-site].stackenterprise.co/api/v3'
});

// Get all answers for question ID 123
const answers = await sdk.answers.getAll(123);
console.log(`Found ${answers.totalCount} answers`);

With Pagination

// Get the second page with 50 answers per page
const answers = await sdk.answers.getAll(123, {
  page: 2,
  pageSize: 50
});

With Sorting

// Get answers sorted by score (highest first)
const topAnswers = await sdk.answers.getAll(123, {
  sort: 'score',
  order: 'desc',
  pageSize: 15
});

// Get newest answers first
const newestAnswers = await sdk.answers.getAll(123, {
  sort: 'creation',
  order: 'desc'
});

Team Context

// Using team context for team-specific operations
const teamSDK = sdk.forTeam('team-123');
const teamAnswers = await teamSDK.answers.getAll(123);

// Or initialize directly with team context
const teamAnswerClient = new AnswerClient(config, 'team-123');
const answers = await teamAnswerClient.getAll(123);

const sdk = new StackOverflowSDK({
  accessToken: 'your-access-token',
  baseUrl: 'https://[your-site].stackenterprise.co/api/v3'
});

try {
  const answers = await sdk.answers.getAll(123);
  console.log(answers.items);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof NotFoundError) {
    console.error('Question not found');

Notes

• When no sorting options are provided, the API uses its default sorting behavior
• Page numbers are 1-based (first page is page: 1)
• The items array contains AnswerSummaryResponseModel objects, which include essential answer information but may not include all fields available in the full AnswerResponseModel
