title: How to run a Stack Exchange Data Explorer query from R and return the results to the R session?
body: <p>We can see the excellent <a href="https://data.stackexchange.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Stack Exchange Data Explorer</a> in the browser, and use it to run some TSQL. A random example could be: <code>SELECT * FROM Tags</code></p>
  <p>How can we run such a query from R, and return the results directly to the R session?</p>
  <h3>Note</h3>
  <p>I am aware we could use the Stack Exchange public data in Google BigQuery (e.g. using bigrquery, dbplyr etc), but I would like to avoid using this method</p>
