# Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow questions and answers naming your keyword.

Mentio searches Stack Overflow questions and answers for your keyword, newest first.

| `platform`                    | `stackoverflow`       |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------- |
| What is found                 | Questions and answers |
| Freshness                     | About every hour      |
| Last 30 days on a new keyword | Yes, the newest 10    |

## What a mention carries

* `post.text`: the question's title and an excerpt of the question or answer (for an answer, its question's title).
* `author`: display name, profile link and picture.

The rest is the same on every platform: relevance, sentiment and intent from the classifier, your triage, and the keyword it matched. See the [mention shape](/api).

## Mute an author

A profile link, `stackoverflow.com/users/123/name`. See [Mute authors](/alerts#mute-authors).

## Limits

* The text is an excerpt, not the whole post.
* Stack Exchange caps daily requests; on a very busy day the platform can go quiet until midnight UTC and catch up then.
