Quora Scraper: Questions, Answers and Profiles (No Login)

For each answer you get the full text, author name and credential, views, upvotes, shares and comments, and the date. For each profile you get followers, number of answers, total content views, views last month, credentials, location and "Most viewed writer" years.

Pricing

Pay per result, no start fee, proxy included:

• $0.0019 per question, $0.0019 per answer, $0.0019 per profile ($1.90 per 1,000 results)

Every result needs a real browser session on a residential proxy to get past Quora's Cloudflare check; that's what the price covers.

Set Maximum cost per run and the scraper stops cleanly when it gets there.

Limits

• Answers per question: Quora shows logged-out visitors only the first few answers of a question, usually 2 to 6. This scraper returns those. Some of them are answers Quora pulls in from a very similar question; those have fromSimilarQuestion: true and their own questionTitle and questionUrl.
• No keyword search: Quora's search pages are off limits in its robots.txt, so start from question URLs and use Follow related questions to expand.
• Topic and Spaces pages are not supported yet.
• Quora uses Cloudflare bot protection. The scraper passes it with a real browser on a residential proxy, then reads pages quietly one at a time. If a page is still blocked it retries with a new session and skips it after three tries.
• Needs 2 GB of memory (the default).

FAQ

Do I need a Quora account or cookies? No. Only public pages are read.

Is it allowed? It only collects publicly visible data and stays out of the paths Quora's robots.txt disallows. Quora doesn't allow its content to be used to train AI models without a license, so don't use the output for that. Respect authors' copyright and privacy law when you reuse the data.
