Getting questions and answers posted as anonymous

[hammansamuel]

Could this API be used to identify anonymous answers?

Edit: I meant to ask if the API could query questions and answers that are posted as anonymous

No.
It's a cool project idea, in case you're interested in data sciences. It's beyond the scope of this project though.

Feel free to add it to csu/pyquora and make a pull request. Any additional metadata we can parse out of the pages is welcome.

I wouldn't say it's out of the scope of the project.

Thanks Christopher & Rohit, by the way, did you mean this would be doable in the near future? I could look into the source code of pyquora and do the modifications, but I'm relatively new to Python, it might take a while

@hwsamuel Could you clarify what you mean by "identifying anonymous answer"? Retrieving the identity of the author of an anonymous answer or labelling an answer as being written by an anonymous writer?

[hammansamuel]

@aaronwinter good question! I meant the latter, to label an answer/question as being written by an anonymous user

[erwanor]

@hwsamuel Thank you, I think that they were some quid pro quo. I can work on that feature this week, I will try to pull something around Sunday. 👯 💃

edit: uh. I might have get a little bit over-optimistic, sorry about that. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible but it probably won't be before next week.

I thought that you meant "retrieving the identity of the author of an anonymous answer"! 😝

My bad, I've changed the title to make it clearer :)
