Different user_id on different sites

sopoforic opened this issue · 2 comments

In my exports, I get data for different users for each site--whichever user has the ID number passed to stexport. The problem is that the user_id for the same user differs per-site.

It seems to me that it is necessary, rather, to use the /me endpoint on each site to get the correct user_id. Am I misunderstanding how to use stexport?

Hi @sopoforic you're completely right, thanks! This is a great catch.
I never noticed because I've only been using stackoverflow data so far 🙈

Confirmed, this fixes the issue. Thanks!
