The Julia Programming Language

Add an additional API Endpoint to StackOverflow.jl

StackOverflow.jl is a wrapper of the Stack Overflow API in Julia.

For this task, you will be wrapping additional pieces of the Stack Exchange API.

Look through the docs linked above, and find a part of the API that has not been wrapped yet in Julia. Write a Julia function in the correct folder that interacts with the API endpoint.

For a good example of how this is done let's take a look here. Now that you have seen that, look here.

Make sure that:

  • If you add a new file you include and export the function in the StackOverflow.jl file.
  • Test locally before you submit a PR.
  • You DO NOT wrap a function that requires OAuth.

When you are done:

  • Test the new function locally.
  • Add a test of the function to runtests.jl
  • Add a comment with the link from the Stack Overflow docs.
  • Open a PR to the main StackOverflow.jl repo.

Feel free to ping me on Slack if you have any questions.
