Answer a question

POST/v1/questions/{id}/answer

scope questions.write

Answers are moderated exactly as they are on the site. Check is_published: when it is false the answer is held for review and is NOT yet on the listing, so tell your user that rather than showing it as live.

Request body#

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
textstringrequiredYour answer, shown publicly on the listing. Must be a non-empty string after trimming (text_required, 400) and at most 2000 characters (text_too_long, 400) — shorter than a private message, because everyone reads it.

Example

{
    "text": "Size L — suits 180-190 cm."
}

Response#

FieldTypeDescription
dataobjectThe answer as it was stored.
data.idintegerThe new answer id.
data.question_idintegerThe question it answers.
data.textstringWhat was stored.
data.statusstringModeration state. Answers normally auto-publish; pending means it is held for review and is not on the listing yet.

Accepts pending · published · rejected

data.is_publishedbooleanThe same fact as a boolean — true only when status is published. Check it: an answer nobody can see has not answered anything.
data.created_atstringISO-8601 UTC.

Example

{
    "data": {
        "id": 15,
        "question_id": 31,
        "text": "Size L — suits 180-190 cm.",
        "status": "published",
        "is_published": true,
        "created_at": "2026-09-10T06:21:57Z"
    }
}

Failures use the shared error envelope — a machine-readable code and a request_id to quote to support. Error handling.
