Quora API

Quora search

Quora pages matching a query, found through a web search of quora.com: questions, answers, space posts, spaces, profiles and topics, each with the title and the search snippet. Quora's own results page needs a signed-in session, so ranking and filters are the search engine's; pass the cursor as page for the next page.

Examples

Make the request

curl

curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/quora/search?query=learn%20python" \

const res = await fetch(
  "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/quora/search?query=learn%20python",
  { headers: { "x-api-key": key } },
);
const body = await res.json();

if (!body.success) {
  // one error shape for every endpoint — see /docs/errors
  throw new Error(`${body.error.type}: ${body.error.message}`);
}

console.log(body.data, "credits left:", body.credits_remaining);

Python

print(body["data"], "credits left:", body["credits_remaining"])

Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

200 · application/json

{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "quora",
  "endpoint": "/v1/quora/search",
  "data": {
    "count": 0,
    "cursor": null,
    "has_more": false,
    "items": [
      {
        "platform": "example",
        "position": 0,
        "snippet": "example",
        "title": "example",
        "type": "example",
        "url": "https://example.com/example"
      }

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside data	Type	Meaning
`count`	`number \| null`	Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches.
`cursor`	`string \| null`	Opaque next-page token; pass it back unchanged. Null does not prove complete history.
`has_more`	`boolean \| null`	Source continuation indicator; null means unknown.
`items`	`array \| null`	Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary.
`items[].platform`	`string \| null`	Optional platform supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].position`	`number \| null`	Optional position supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].snippet`	`string \| null`	Optional snippet supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].title`	`string \| null`	Source title when supplied.
`items[].type`	`string \| null`	Optional type supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].url`	`string \| null`	Original source URL when supplied.
`note`	`string \| null`	Optional note supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`query`	`string \| null`	Optional query supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
