Usage notes

Good for

  • Use it when you have a question ID (the number after /question/) and need its reach and context.

Not for

  • Do not use it for answer text or asker identity analysis.

Known limitations

  • View count is a public page snapshot, not unique users.
  • Counts are point-in-time public snapshots, not live or historical trends.

Billing

¥0.02 per call. Nonempty complete results are charged; empty, partial, and failed results are not.
