Scrape Quora questions and answers by providing direct question URLs. Extracts answer text, author info, upvote counts, and engagement metrics from public Quora pages.
Features
- Scrape questions and answers by direct question URL
- Extracts question title, answer text, author credentials, and upvotes
- Automatically gets past Quora's bot-protection challenge to reach the real page content
- Configurable maximum items and answers per question
Keyword search is not available. Quora does not server-render
/searchresults, so they cannot be read without a logged-in session. Provide direct question URLs instartUrlsinstead. Topic, profile, and search-result pages are not supported either — only direct question pages.
Usage
Direct URL Scraping
Provide specific Quora question URLs to scrape directly:
{"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-machine-learning" },{ "url": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-Python-programming" }],"maxItems": 10,"maxAnswersPerQuestion": 3}
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
startUrls | Array | — | Direct Quora question URLs to scrape. Required. |
maxItems | Integer | 10 | Maximum total records (question+answer pairs) to scrape. |
maxAnswersPerQuestion | Integer | 5 | Maximum answers to extract per question page. |
startUrls with at least one direct question URL is required.
Output
Each output record represents one answer to a Quora question:
{"question_url": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-machine-learning","question_title": "What is machine learning?","answer_author": "Jane Smith","answer_author_bio": "PhD in Computer Science, Stanford","answer_text": "Machine learning is a branch of computer science...","answer_upvotes": "2.1K","answer_index": 1,"scraped_at": "2026-06-07T20:00:00.000Z"}
If a question has no accessible answers (login gating), a record is still saved with the question title and null answer fields.
Notes
- Quora content is public for most questions but may require a login for some. The actor scrapes available content without authentication.
- Answer counts per question depend on how many answers Quora renders before the login wall appears.
