The Julia Programming Language

Convert the Julia StackOverflow bot from Python to Julia.

Right now, the bot that posts questions from Stack Overflow to the Julia Slack's "stackoverflow-feed" channel uses Python. Convert the Python syntax to Julia using StackOverflow.jl.

  • You will need to replace the python usage of StackAPI with the Julia StackOverflow package.
  • You will need to replace the Python usage of the requests package to the Julia Package HTTP.
  • You will need to create a test Slack Workspace for testing.- You will need to make a test Slack App with incoming webhooks.

Try to approach this challenge in steps.

First, make sure you translate the StackOverflow API query (which in plain English is: give me all of the "Julia" tagged questions posted in the last hour). Then, you should set up the slack app with webhooks. Try sending info to the Slack Workspace via webhooks. (I have implemented this for your use in the Slack.jl package).
