BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) -- you provide your own API credentials.
Before You Start
This actor requires your own API credentials to fetch real data.
Where to get your key: JSON array of cookies from Cookie-Editor browser extension. Steps: 1) Install Cookie-Editor in Chrome, 2) Log into quora.com, 3) Click the Cookie-Editor icon, 4) Click Export → JSON, 5) Paste the entire JSON array here. Without cookies, Quora blocks most requests.
Quick Start
Run with real data
{"searchQuery": "local SEO","maxResults": 50,"includeAnswers": true,"answersPerQuestion": 3,"minAnswerUpvotes": 0,"sortBy": "relevance","sessionCookies": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"}
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
searchQuery | string | - | No | What to search for on Quora (e.g., 'local SEO strategies', 'small business marketing', 'how to get more reviews'). |
topics | array | - | No | Only keep questions that match these topics. Leave empty to keep all questions. Example: ['SEO', 'Marketing'] |
maxResults | integer | 50 | No | Maximum number of questions to scrape. The actor scrolls search results to find more questions. |
includeAnswers | boolean | true | No | Scrape top answers for each question. Slower but gives you the actual answer text, author info, and upvote counts. |

minAnswerUpvotes | integer | 0 | No | Only include answers with at least this many upvotes. Set to 0 to include all answers. |
sortBy | string | "relevance" | No | How to sort the scraped questions in the output. |
sessionCookies | string | - | Yes* | JSON array of cookies from Cookie-Editor browser extension. Steps: 1) Install Cookie-Editor in Chrome, 2) Log into quora.com, 3) Click the Cookie-Editor icon, 4) Click Export → JSON, 5) Paste the entire JSON array here. Without cookies, Quora blocks most requests. |
webhookUrl | string | - | No | URL to POST results when scraping completes. Works with Zapier, Make, n8n, or any custom endpoint. |
Pricing

Troubleshooting
"API key is required"
- Add your API key in the input
"API error 403" or "Unauthorized"
Your API key is invalid, expired, or doesn't have access to this specific API endpoint. Double-check your key and account permissions.
"API error 429" or "Rate limit"
Too many requests. Wait a minute and try again, or reduce the number of items per run.
No results or empty dataset
Check the run log for error messages. Common causes:
- Invalid input format (check the examples above)
- API key without proper permissions
- The target data doesn't exist or is too small to track
How do I test without an API key?
