💬 Quora Answers Scraper: Questions & Profiles, No Login

Export Quora answers from question links, answer links and profile links: the full answer text, upvotes, views, shares, comment count, the date it was written and last edited, the author's name, credential, profile link and picture, plus the question and how many answers Quora counts on it. Give one or two seed questions and let the Actor follow related questions to build a topic dataset. Plain HTTP, no browser, no login, no cookies. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

What a run costs (pay per answer saved; pages Quora does not show and errors cost nothing):

	Free plan	Bronze	Silver	Gold and up
Answer row	$0.0008	$0.00072	$0.00068	$0.00064

Plus $0.00005 per run start. Until November 8, 2026 every answer costs $0.0025, the price this Actor's listing had before; the table above applies from that day. 1,000 answers then cost $0.80 on the Free plan.

⚡ What it does better

What users report on other Quora Actors, and what this one does:

Reported elsewhere	Here
"Runs return no records since around 6 September"	Reads question and profile pages through the calls Quora's own pages make to a logged-out visitor, not through keyword search (which Quora no longer serves to visitors)
"Is it possible to get questions from a topic?"	Topic pages need a login. Instead, give a seed question and set Related questions to follow: the Actor reads the questions Quora lists as related (one seed question about starting a small business gave 8 related questions and 563 answers in one run)
Only the first couple of answers of a question	Pages through the answer list 10 at a time: up to ~80 answers per question, more when Quora merged duplicate questions into it
No numbers to rank answers by	Every row has upvotes, views, shares, comment count and the exact date

🔎 What is the Quora Answers Scraper?

Quora is a question-and-answer site with hundreds of millions of answers written by practitioners, founders, doctors, engineers and hobbyists. This Actor reads what Quora shows a visitor who is not logged in, and saves one row per answer.

What data does it extract?

• Answer: id, link, full text (paragraphs and list items kept as lines), image links, outbound links
• Engagement: upvotes, views, shares, number of comments
• Dates: when the answer was written and when it was last edited (ISO 8601, UTC)
• Author: name, Quora user id, profile link, picture, verified flag, the credential shown with the answer (for example "Founder at …" or "Studied at …"), anonymous and AI-account flags
• Question: id, text, link, number of answers Quora counts on it
• Position: rank of the answer on the question or profile list, and the input link it came from

⬇️ Input

Field	What it does	Default
startUrls	Question links, answer links (the whole question is read) or profile links. Language sites (es.quora.com, de.quora.com …) work too	a sample question
maxAnswersPerQuestion	Most answers saved per link (1–100)	20
relatedQuestions	How many related questions to read as well (0–200). Each saves up to the per-question limit	0
profileSort	For profiles: both (newest and most viewed, up to 60 different answers), recent or viewed	both

Input names of other Quora Actors (urls, maxItems, maxItemsPerQuery) are read too.

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-start-a-small-business",
    "https://www.quora.com/profile/Adam-DAngelo"
  ],
  "maxAnswersPerQuestion": 100,
  "relatedQuestions": 3
}

That run took 20 seconds and saved 437 answers: 80 from the question, 57 from the profile and 300 from three related questions.

🤖 For AI agents

One input to copy; no credential is needed:

{"startUrls": ["https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-way-to-learn-Python"], "maxAnswersPerQuestion": 30, "relatedQuestions": 5}

Rows are plain JSON with the answer text in text and the numbers to rank by in upvotes and views.

💡 Use cases

• 🧠 LLM and RAG datasets: real question-and-answer pairs with authors, credentials and engagement to weigh them
• 📈 Market and product research: what people ask and answer about a product, a niche or a competitor, ranked by views
• ✍️ Content ideas: the answers that got the most upvotes on the questions your audience asks, for blog posts and FAQs
• 🔎 Expert discovery: authors with relevant credentials and high-view answers in your field, with their profile links

⚠️ Limits

• About 80 answers per question. Quora shows a visitor the top answers of a question and stops there, also when it counts thousands (one question with 6,074 answers listed 82). When Quora merged duplicate questions into one, their answers come along and a question can give 100.
• 60 answers per profile. A visitor gets the 30 newest and the 30 most viewed answers of a profile.
• No keyword search, topics or spaces. Quora answers those only to a logged-in user. Use related questions to widen a dataset from seed questions.
• No comments or upvoter lists, only their counts.
• Quora turns datacenter addresses away, so the Actor reads through residential addresses; their traffic is included in the price.

❓ FAQ

Do I need a Quora account or cookies? No. The Actor reads what Quora shows any visitor.

Can I search Quora by keyword? Not any more: Quora stopped answering keyword searches for visitors. Start from a question you found on Quora or in a search engine and set relatedQuestions.

Why did I get fewer answers than the question shows? Quora shows a visitor about 80 answers per question. The run's status message and SUMMARY say how many each link gave.

Which answers come first? The order Quora shows them in, which is mostly by quality and upvotes. rank keeps that position.

Does it work for Quora in other languages? Yes, give a link on es.quora.com, fr.quora.com, de.quora.com and so on.

What happens with a question that does not exist? It is reported as "No such page" in the status message and costs nothing.

Can I run it on a schedule? Yes. Each run saves the answers again with current upvotes and views, so a schedule tracks how answers grow.

Is it legal to scrape Quora? The Actor reads publicly visible pages without logging in. Answers are written by people: use the data in line with Quora's terms, copyright and privacy law (GDPR, CCPA), quote with attribution, and do not use author data for unsolicited messages (CAN-SPAM).

What does aiAnswer mean? Quora marks some answers as written by its AI accounts; those rows have aiAnswer: true so you can drop them.
