I'm trying to do some auditing on how frequently questions are asked about the packages I maintain (and also maybe whether I answer them). I can't see anything in the forum API (https://support.bioconductor.org/info/api/) about tags but I thought maybe the tag RSS feed would work e.g. https://support.bioconductor.org/feeds/tag/biomaRt+rhdf5/ That's nice since it has dates for filtering and a hash to match posts between queries, however I only get 25 results, which span posts from 2006 to 2018. Is there a way to get a more comprehensive output? Or an alternative mechanism to list all posts identified using a tag? Thanks, Mike

I don't really have a great idea. Something like https://support.bioconductor.org/t/rhdf5/?limit=This%20year shows questions /t/agged with rhdf5 and asked this year (last 365 days), so total questions asked is pretty accessible; after that I'm not sure other than creative web scraping; the urls are easy to construct.
