Can I use the API for posting any question to Stack Overflow? I have a internal SharePoint site and whenever anybody has got any technical question they post it here. I want to post it automatically to Stack Overflow so that it can be addressed by a larger audience.

No, you can't post anything (Question, Answers, Comments, Votes) from the API yet. It's been implied (but not promised) that write access will be available in version 2.0.
- Haha - "It's been implied (but not promised)" - They have done a very good job of not promising anything. " When v2 comes out..." They keep telling us.jjnguy– jjnguy2010-08-03 17:37:35 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2010 at 17:37
Many have asked, some have even tried playing around with issuing POST requests. It just isn't going to happen until v2.0 or later.
