Take the 2-minute tour ×  I wanted to post questions after a
proper user authentication explained here. Is there anyway I can
do this?  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers  up
vote 3 down vote accepted  There isn't anything special in the
API that would let you do this. You could send the user directly
to the ask a question page.  I fiddled with the FireFox plugin I
created to see if I could add the ability to post directly to
the site to add an answer to a question or a comment if someone
was already logged in. If I remember correctly there is some key
that is required for the POST request and it wasn't obvious how
that key was generated.  share|improve this answer Please see my
answer for details. –  Nathan Osman Jul 29 '10 at 16:07 Don't
try that, we intentionally make it very difficult to
programmatically post to the sites (as an anti-bot measure). If
you find a workaround, we will break it. –  Kevin Montrose Jul
