How to automatically generate a question on Q2A?

Question

Anyway I can use a tool like IFTTT to generate questions on a Q2A site? I am open to use anything that can automatically generate questions on my Q2A site.

Do you have a text file with questions?

Answer 1

You can programmatically add questions using PHP code. Start here: http://docs.question2answer.org/code/external/

Create a PHP script that takes parameters of title, content, tags etc and use those to add a new question. I don’t know exactly how IFTTT works but if it does POST requests you’d get the parameters from $_POST['title'] for example. Then you’d tell IFTTT to load your script (example.com/addquestion.php).

For the userid you’d presumably have a special user set up.

IMPORTANT: add some security like an API key that must be provided to add the question. Otherwise anyone could add questions without being logged in.
