> Pulled the posts/answers I wanted from the Stack Overflow API

I have a script I use to download posts from public Stack Overflow/Exchange to post on my Jekyll blog:

[https://github.com/jericson/se2jekyll.rb](https://github.com/jericson/se2jekyll.rb)

I considered using the Discourse API to post them to my forum, but I don’t have so many that copy-and-paste doesn’t work just as well. With a thousand or so posts, automating that steps is key! Good luck.
