How to get list of all technologies


If you look at the 'Tags' option when you post a question, it gives an auto-complete/intellisense-assist when we type a tag, say SQL Server, for example. I need to get the whole list of technologies, the itemsSource, of this intellisense-assist. You may see a similar use-case in LinkedIn when we try to add a technology/skill that we learnt, to our profile. Can someone please tell me the source from which we may get this whole list of technolgies?


Solution

  • You mean like

    http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/tags

    which gives:

    {
    "total": 35690,
    "page": 1,
    "pagesize": 70,
    "tags": [
    {
    "name": "c#",
    "count": 576794,
    "fulfills_required": false
    },
    {
    "name": "java",
    "count": 554383,
    "fulfills_required": false
    },
    {
    "name": "javascript",
    "count": 523194,
    "fulfills_required": false
    },
    ...
