Quora Answers Scraper

🚀 Quora Scraper

Extract every answer on a Quora question, a writer's public answer history, or a topic's answer feed — as clean, structured JSON. The Quora Scraper turns question, profile and topic URLs into full answer text with engagement metrics, author details and optional comments, ready for market research, audience insight, content analysis and Q&A datasets.

✨ Features

• 💬 Full answer threads: Walks a question to the last answer — hundreds of answers per question, not just the first page — including answers merged in from duplicate questions.
• 📈 Engagement metrics: Upvotes, views, shares, comment counts, creation and update dates for every answer.
• 👤 Author details: Name, profile URL, avatar, credential line, verification, anonymous and business flags, plus an isAiAnswer flag for Quora's machine-generated answers.
• 🧑‍💼 Profiles: Followers, following, answer/question/post counts, all-time and last-month answer views, Top Writer years, expertise topics and credentials — followed by the writer's public answers.
• 🏷️ Topics: The public answer feed of any topic page.
• 🗨️ Comments (optional): Comments with replies under each answer, with authors, dates and upvotes.
• 🔗 Clean text + links: Answer bodies as plain text with every outbound link collected separately.
• 💸 Pay per result: No start fee — you pay only for the answers, profiles and comments you receive.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Enter Quora URLs – Paste question URLs (https://www.quora.com/What-is-web-scraping), profile URLs (https://www.quora.com/profile/Adam-DAngelo) or topic URLs (https://www.quora.com/topic/Web-Scraping).
2. Set limits – maxItems caps the total number of rows; switch on includeComments to also fetch comments under each answer.
3. Run the scraper – Results stream into the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price	What you get
answer	$0.004	One answer row with full text, metrics and author
profile	$0.004	One profile row with stats and credentials
comment	$0.001	One comment (with its replies) when includeComments is on

No start fee. A question with 100 answers costs $0.40.

⚠️ Good to know

• Keyword search on Quora requires a logged-in account, so this scraper works from URLs (question, profile, topic). Find questions on Google or on Quora topic pages and paste them in.
• Question threads are returned in full. Public profile answer lists stop after roughly 40 recent answers and topic feeds after about 30 answers — that is what Quora shows without an account.
• Answers marked isAiAnswer: true were generated by Quora's assistant, not by a person.
