📖 Overview

Collect Quora answers by pasting a Quora URL. Give a question URL to get every answer to that question, or a profile URL to get the answers a person has written. For each answer you get the full text, the author (name, profile, whether anonymous), upvotes, views, shares, the question it belongs to, and the creation/updated dates.

• Scrape by question URL (all answers to a question) or profile URL (all answers by a user).
• Full answer text plus author, upvotes, views, shares and dates.
• Attaches the question each answer belongs to (title, URL, answer count).
• No login and no cookies required — works on public content.
• Exports to JSON, CSV, Excel, or the Apify dataset API.
• Pay per result — no subscription.

🚀 How to use

1. Paste one or more Quora question or profile URLs into Quora URLs.
2. Set Max answers per URL (0 = as many as Quora exposes).
3. Start the run.
4. Download your data from the Storage tab, or fetch it from the API.

💰 Pricing

$0.90 per 1,000 answers. No subscription — you pay only for the results you extract. New Apify users can try the Actor with their free monthly platform credits.

🛡️ Proxy and performance

• Leave the proxy off — this Actor is tuned to run without one, and a proxy usually makes Quora runs less reliable.
• Start with a small Max answers per URL to validate your setup, then increase it.
• Add several question or profile URLs in one run to collect in bulk.
• The first request per run warms up the session; the rest are fast.

🔌 Integrations

Run the Actor from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python clients, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets and Slack through Apify integrations. Each run's data is available as JSON or CSV via the dataset API.
