Extract Q&A from Stack Overflow Teams for indexing

The StackoverflowReader, marked in beta, uses the Stack Overflow API to read from the Stack Overflow Teams API and return a list of questions and answers based on posts. It also supports caching results to a local directory, so load_data() can be run repeatedly without hitting the API each time.

Authentication uses a personal access token (PAT) created at stackoverflowteams.com: naming the token, picking the team scope, and setting an expiration date. That token and the team name are passed either as STACKOVERFLOW_PAT/STACKOVERFLOW_TEAM_NAME environment variables, or directly when instantiating StackoverflowReader(pa_token, team_name, cache_dir='./stackoverflow_cache'), with cache_dir controlling where cached results are stored locally.

The source notes several features that could be added but are not yet present: articles, comments, tags, users, votes, and badges are all listed as possible future additions beyond the current questions-and-answers coverage.

Use it when you need a Stack Overflow Teams instance's questions and answers loaded into LlamaIndex, and want repeated runs to avoid re-hitting the API via local caching. Being in beta, expect the reader's coverage to be limited to posts (questions and answers) only - articles, comments, tags, users, votes, and badges are explicitly not yet supported. Do not use it without first creating a personal access token scoped to the relevant team.

load_data fetches questions and answers from a Stack Overflow Teams instance via a personal access token, with local caching to avoid repeated API calls on subsequent runs.

export STACKOVERFLOW_PAT=your_token
export STACKOVERFLOW_TEAM_NAME=your_team

Requires a Stack Overflow Teams personal access token, created at stackoverflowteams.com with a chosen team scope and expiration.

Developers who need a Stack Overflow Teams instance's Q&A content loaded into LlamaIndex, and are comfortable with the reader's current beta-stage, posts-only coverage.
