Retrieve Questions List

You can use this API request to retrieve a list of the questions that have been posted to your AnswerHub site.

/services/v2/question.json

The following parameters can be used in your retrieve questions list request:

specific: topics, unanswered, spaceId
Paging and Sorting: page, pageSize, sort
Search: q, type, lang
Projection: include, exclude, includeOnly
Other options: wrap, v1

🚧

Permissions & Notes:

  • You must have the View the questions list permission under Anonymous Roles in the Advanced Editor.

  • With the includeOnly parameter set to id and name (/services/v2/question.json?includeOnly=id,name) to the AnswerHub REST API.

  • This request was added in version 1.6.3.

Sample Requests

A GET retrieve question list request sent to https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com using a human-readable Username/Password (answerhub/test123) would look like this:

curl 
-u answerhub:test123
-H "Accept: application/json" 
-H "Content-type: application/json" 
-X GET "https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com/services/v2/question.json"

You can also search for questions that only appear in a specific space on your AnswerHub site. In order to do so, you must add the spaceId to your request as a query parameter. For example, the GET retrieve question list request above limited to a space (spaceId: 11) would look like this:

curl 
-u answerhub:test123 
-H "Accept: application/json" 
-H "Content-type: application/json" 
-X GET "https://apidocs.cloud.answerhub.com/services/v2/question.json?spaceId=11&pageSize=2"

👍

Use of pageSize

Note that the parameter pageSize=1 was used to decrease the length of the JSON Response. Without this parameter the response will display a specified number of questions. You can change the number of questions that are displayed on each page by using the parameter pageSize=n where n is the number of questions per page. You can navigate different pages by using the parameter page=n where n is an integer that is less than or equal to the total number of pages available.

Successful Response to the request including the queries spaceId=11 and pageSize=2:
