I recently recalled seeing my classmate querying Stack Exchange data using LINQPad (many years ago). When I tried to figure out a way to do this I found an old blog post, Using LINQPad to Query Stack Overflow, but when I tried to follow the steps I could not connect to an OData endpoint which is depreciated based on Jeff's blog post.

Is there still a way to query Stack Exchange data using LINQPad or has that functionality been completely replaced by https://data.stackexchange.com/?

  • The OData endpoint is likely unavailable because the URL rewriting isn't working, but I'm not sure whether or not that's intentional.

The Windows 2012 R2 server group SEDE was recently moved to did not have the HTTP Activation for WCF services available, causing a 404. It has just been enabled and OData is up and running again.

Apologies for the oversight - this is the only software we run that needs anything WCF, so it doesn't get a lot of attention. We'll take a look at adding it to the template for the server tier SEDE runs on in all data centers.

  • I love WCF but it's always a PITA to deploy.

  • @ta.speot.is I agree with at least the "always a PITA" part of that ;)
