An editorial comparison of what each vendor publishes, checked 25 Sept 2026. Monocrawl is ours and listed first. How we compared
What are you building?
The questions people ask about a topic, with their answers and related questionsA data API that reads question pages as JSON, with the answers on them. They differ most in how they charge.
Keyword search for mentions of a brand, product or market on QuoraAn option with keyword search. Monocrawl, and ScrapingBee’s Google Search API, find Quora pages through a web search; Apify’s actor searches Quora by content type and recency.
The profiles, credentials and answers of the writers in your fieldA data API that reads profiles and each answer’s author and credential. Bright Data adds author details to each answer it collects.
An AI agent that searches Quora and reads answersAn option whose MCP server reaches Quora data, so the agent can call it directly.
Performance data for your own Quora ad campaignsQuora’s Ads API, for advertisers and the agencies or tools they authorise. Reporting partners such as Supermetrics connect to it.

Two routes
Quora’s own API is for advertisers: it reports on their ad campaigns and takes conversion events, but returns no questions or answers. Data APIs read public Quora pages with an API key.

Questions
Not for its questions and answers. Quora’s API is for advertisers and the agencies or tools they authorise: its terms limit it to advertising performance data, to inform strategy and spend on Quora, and a separate Conversion API sends conversion events to Quora. Poe, Quora’s AI platform, has its own API for AI models and bots, not Quora content. For public Quora data, a data API needs only an API key.
Quora’s Ads API is free for now, but only for advertisers, and it returns data about their own campaigns. For public Quora data, most data APIs let you start free: Monocrawl gives 1,000 credits every month, Bright Data 5,000 records a month, Apify $5 of usage a month and Decodo a free plan of 2,000 requests a month, or 1,000 with JavaScript. ScrapingBee gives 1,000 free credits, and ScraperAPI a 7-day trial with 5,000 credits or a free plan of 1,000.
Not with Monocrawl: you send your Monocrawl API key with a question URL, a profile, topic or space handle, or search words, and get public Quora data back, with no Quora login. Quora’s own API needs you to be an advertiser, or authorised by one, and returns only advertising data.
Yes, in different ways. Monocrawl’s search returns Quora questions, answers, space posts, spaces, profiles and topics found through a web search of quora.com, with each page’s title and snippet, because Quora’s own results page needs a signed-in session. Apify’s Quora actor searches by keyword with filters for content type and recency, and ScrapingBee points to its Google Search API for Quora results.
Monocrawl and Apify publish their own MCP servers that reach Quora data, so assistants such as Claude or Cursor can call them directly. Bright Data, Decodo, ScraperAPI and ScrapingBee also publish MCP servers, but with no Quora tool: their general scraping tools return the page.
Method
What’s includedQuora’s own API, which serves advertisers, plus data and scraping APIs with a Quora page or endpoint of their own that come up across Quora API and Quora scraper searches and comparison lists, and publish their pricing or offer a trial.
What we comparedWhat each vendor publishes about its Quora data, pricing, free allowance and access, read on its own pages. “Best” here means worth comparing, not a ranking from tests: we have not run their APIs.
