FAQ

Q: Do I need a Quora account?

A: No. This scraper uses public Quora data. No login required.

Q: What do follower and view counts indicate?

A: High follower counts mean many people want to see answers (ongoing demand). High view counts mean the question gets organic traffic. Both are strong signals for content topics.

Q: Can I sort by popularity?

A: Yes. Use sortBy: "followers" for most-followed questions or sortBy: "views" for most-viewed.

Q: How is this different from People Also Ask scraping?

A: Quora provides actual user-generated questions with community engagement data (upvotes, followers, views). PAA scraping gives Google's algorithm-suggested questions. Both are valuable for different reasons.

Q: Can I research specific competitor products?

A: Yes. Search for competitor brand names or product names to see what questions users ask about them.
