We shared this request example with FAB participants: url_qparams = { "limit": count, "offset": offset, "has_group": "false", "order_by": "-activity", "forecast_type": "binary", "project": tournament_id, "status": "open", "type": "forecast", "include_description": "true", } url = f"{api_info.base_url}/questions/" response = requests.get( url, headers={"Authorization": f"Token {api_info.token}"}, params=url_qparams )
But we don't want to support all these parameters, and the ones relevant are: - order_by - status - project - forecast_type - we ignore this, but assume it's binary - FAB only supports binary for now.

However, voters in Scotland did not, in aggregate, support leaving the EU. In fact, Scotland was the most pro-remain region of the UK with [ 62% of Scottish voters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum) opting for \"Remain.\" (Gibraltar had a higher Remain vote share, but was counted as part of South West England.)

The Institute for Progress said the [following](https://progress.institute/taking-emergency-use-authorization-seriously/) in January 2022 (at the peak of the Omicron wave) about the issue with FDA's conservative approach:\n\n> The United States doesn’t have enough rapid tests. The root cause of this shortage is that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t have an appropriate framework for thinking about tradeoffs during an emergency ... Rapid tests provide a key example of where the FDA has treated clinical trial data as necessary when other data should be sufficient for authorization during a public health emergency. Despite the broad benefit to the public of having rapid tests widely available, their supposed individual inferiority to PCR has kept almost all of them off the market.\n\nAs of June 14, 2022, there are 20 at-home over-the-counter rapid tests for SARS-CoV-2 that [have been authorized by FDA](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic-tests). However, to date there are no at-home over-the-counter rapid tests for influenza that have been authorized by FDA. A recent study on such a test found [encouraging results](https://publichealth.jmir.org/2022/2/e28268): \"sensitivity and specificity of the self-test were comparable with those of .... clinical settings ... deployment of home tests may provide a valuable tool to support the management of influenza.\"\n\nThe purpose of this question is to understand the potential for the US FDA to authorize an at-home over-the-counter rapid test for influenza. Such a test may play a key role in helping to reduce transmission of seasonal influenza and, critically, can play an important role from the very start of any potential future flu pandemics." }, {

As of July 8 2022, Biden has an approval rating of 38.6% [according to FiveThirtyEight.](https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/)\n\nOn numerous occasions, President Biden [has stated](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/06/17/biden-signals-run-for-reelection/) that he intends to run for re-election in 2024. However, given Biden's low approval rating, advanced age (he is the oldest US president in history), and [indications](https://news.gallup.com/poll/393626/usual-midterm-indicators-unfavorable-democrats.aspx) that his Democratic Party will perform poorly in the November midterm elections, it has been [speculated](https://eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/03/29/joe-biden-zero-chance-run-for-reelection-2024-column/7036849002/) that Biden may opt not to seek re-election in the 2024 presidential contest, and it has been [suggested](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/06/biden-run-for-reelection-2024/661297/) that he should not. \n\nThere is also a widespread expectation on the part of the American public that Biden will not run again: [according to a Wall Street Journal poll](https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/15/politics/biden-reelection-2024-poll/index.html) in March 2022, 52% of registered voters don't think that President Joe Biden will run for a second term in 2024. Only 29% expect him to run again." }, { "id": 11424, "title": "Will Andrew Yang hold high Federal office in the United States before February 1 2037?", "short_title": "Yang Holds US Federal Office by Feb 1, 2037", "url_title": "Yang Holds US Federal Office by Feb 1, 2037", "slug": "yang-holds-us-federal-office-by-feb-1-2037", "author_id": 101465, "author_username": "Jgalt", "coauthors": [], "created_at": "2022-06-19T09:46:32.534038Z", "published_at": "2022-06-22T21:00:00Z", "edited_at": "2025-09-05T17:28:53.431523Z", "curation_status": "approved", "curation_status_updated_at": "2022-06-22T21:00:00Z", "comment_count": 11, "status": "open", "resolved": false, "actual_close_time": null, "scheduled_close_time": "2037-01-31T23:00:00Z", "scheduled_resolve_time": "2037-02-01T00:00:00Z", "actual_resolve_time": null, "open_time": "2022-06-22T21:00:00Z", "nr_forecasters": 43, "html_metadata_json": null, "projects": { "site_main": [ { "id": 144, "type": "site_main", "name": "Metaculus Community", "slug": null, "header_image": null, "prize_pool": null, "start_date": null, "close_date": null, "forecasting_end_date": null, "html_metadata_json": null, "is_ongoing": null, "user_permission": "forecaster", "created_at": "2023-11-08T16:55:29.484707Z", "edited_at": "2025-07-18T17:28:18.838588Z", "score_type": null, "default_permission": "forecaster", "visibility": "normal", "is_current_content_translated": false, "bot_leaderboard_status": "exclude_and_show" } ], "default_project": { "id": 144, "type": "site_main", "name": "Metaculus Community", "slug": null, "header_image": null, "prize_pool": null, "start_date": null, "close_date": null, "forecasting_end_date": null, "html_metadata_json": null, "is_ongoing": null, "user_permission": "forecaster", "created_at": "2023-11-08T16:55:29.484707Z", "edited_at": "2025-07-18T17:28:18.838588Z", "score_type": null, "default_permission": "forecaster", "visibility": "normal", "is_current_content_translated": false, "bot_leaderboard_status": "exclude_and_show" }, "category": [ { "id": 3689, "name": "Politics", "slug": "politics", "emoji": "🏛️", "description": "Politics", "type": "category" }, { "id": 3685, "name": "Elections", "slug": "elections", "emoji": "🗳️", "description": "Elections", "type": "category" } ] }, "question": { "id": 11424, "title": "Will Andrew Yang hold high Federal office in the United States before February 1 2037?", "created_at": "2022-06-19T09:46:32.534038Z", "open_time": "2022-06-22T21:00:00Z", "cp_reveal_time": "2022-06-24T21:00:00Z", "spot_scoring_time": "2022-06-24T21:00:00Z", "scheduled_resolve_time": "2037-02-01T00:00:00Z", "actual_resolve_time": null, "resolution_set_time": null, "scheduled_close_time": "2037-01-31T23:00:00Z", "actual_close_time": "2037-01-31T23:00:00Z", "type": "binary", "options": null, "group_variable": "", "status": "open", "possibilities": { "type": "binary" }, "resolution": null, "include_bots_in_aggregates": false, "question_weight": 1.0, "default_score_type": "peer", "default_aggregation_method": "recency_weighted", "label": "", "unit": "", "open_upper_bound": null, "open_lower_bound": null, "inbound_outcome_count": null, "scaling": { "range_min": null, "range_max": null, "nominal_min": null, "nominal_max": null, "zero_point": null, "open_upper_bound": null, "open_lower_bound": null, "inbound_outcome_count": null, "continuous_range": null }, "group_rank": null, "description": "[Andrew Yang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Yang), born January 13, 1975, is an American political activist, entrepreneur, lobbyist, and former corporate lawyer.
