The library silently stopped working because api.stackexchange.com no longer serves over HTTP and v2.2 has been superseded by v2.3, causing all SO answer lookups to fail.

Changes

  • API.java (both AutoEx-Lib and buildSrc): update SEARCH_URL from http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/ to https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/
  • README.md: add a fix note documenting the API endpoint change
// Before
public final static String SEARCH_URL = "http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/search/advanced?site=stackoverflow&accepted=true";

// After
public final static String SEARCH_URL = "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/search/advanced?site=stackoverflow&accepted=true";
