             sort = NULL, order = NULL, tagged = NULL, site = "stackoverflow.com")
getQuestionLinks(num = NULL, ids = NULL, fromDate = NULL, toDate = NULL, min = NULL, max = NULL,
             sort = NULL, order = NULL, site = "stackoverflow.com")
getQuestionRelated(num = NULL, ids = NULL, fromDate = NULL, toDate = NULL, min = NULL, max = NULL,
             sort = NULL, order = NULL, site = "stackoverflow.com")

Arguments

num	An upper bound on the number of results to return
ids	A vector of numeric IDs representing a specific subset of questions to search
fromDate	When present, an early bound on results to return, either as a POSIXct date or an Unix timestamp
toDate	When present, an upper bound on results to return, either as a POSIXct date or an Unix timestamp
min	When present, minimum value for the current sort
max	When present, maximum value for the current sort
sort	When present, how results are to be sorted, one of activity (default), creation or votes
order	When present, how results should be ordered, one of desc (default) or asc
tagged	An optional vector of tags to limit the search space

Details

The getQuestions function is a standard search for questions.

The getUnansweredQuestions function will limit the search to questions which are considered unanswered. This means that there are no answers with at least one upvote for the question.

The getNoAnswerQuestions function will limit the search to questions which have no answers.

The getQuestionLinks function will return any questions which link to the questions represented by ids

The getQuestionRelated function will return questions which are deemed related to those identified by ids
