GET /questions/{id}stackexchange.com:mathoverflow-api
Retrieves detailed information for a specific MathOverflow question by its ID. Returns the complete question object including title, body content, tags, author details, score, view count, answer count, and timestamps. Use this when you know the exact question ID and need full details — unlike the bulk /questions endpoint which returns summaries, this returns complete question bodies.
Get a specific question by ID.
- `site=mathoverflow` is required - The `{id}` path parameter is the question ID (numeric) - Use `filter` parameter to include additional fields like question body HTML - Returns a list with one item (for consistency with other endpoints) - Question IDs are visible in MathOverflow URLs: /questions/{id}/title-slug
