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 /search results, so they cannot be read without a logged-in session. Provide direct question URLs in startUrls instead. 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

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
startUrlsArrayDirect Quora question URLs to scrape. Required.
maxItemsInteger10Maximum total records (question+answer pairs) to scrape.
maxAnswersPerQuestionInteger5Maximum 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.
