# Quora API guide



## Choose a Quora operation



Start with the object your task needs. The groups below use the current catalogue; open an endpoint to check accepted identifiers, filters, price and availability before retrieving.



### Other operations



- [Quora answers](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/answers) — The answers on a Quora question page as a list (author, credentials, body, upvotes), with the question's title and total answer count. Quora loads further answers on scroll and offers no page cursor.

- [Quora question](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/question) — A Quora question: title, details, tags, answer/follower/view counts, the answers on the page (author, credentials, body, upvotes) and related questions.

- [Quora space](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/space) — A Quora space (rendered page): name, description, follower count, contributors and the first posts.

- [Quora topic](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/topic) — A Quora topic (rendered page): name, description, follower count and the first questions.



### Accounts and audiences



- [Quora profile](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/profile) — A Quora profile (rendered page): name, credential line, description, follower and following counts, answer/question/post counts and the profile picture.



### Search and discovery



- [Quora search](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/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.



### Posts and media



- [Quora user answers](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/endpoints/quora/user-posts) — The first page of a Quora user's answers feed (rendered page): question, answer text, upvotes, date and URL.



## Check fields and collection limits



Use the endpoint’s declared parameters and returned continuation. Filters from another platform do not automatically apply here. Preserve source identifiers, URLs and warnings; a successful page does not establish complete history. Published response schemas identify whether they come from a reviewed shaper or observed response shapes.



Agents can use `get_endpoint` for the current contract and `get_docs` with topic `platforms/quora` to read this page. The [coverage guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/data-availability) explains nulls and partial results, and the [production guide](https://www.monocrawl.com/docs/production-checklist) covers budgets and recovery.



## Endpoint reference

## quora/answers

`GET /v1/quora/answers`

The answers on a Quora question page as a list (author, credentials, body, upvotes), with the question's title and total answer count. Quora loads further answers on scroll and offers no page cursor.

*Quora answers*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | yes | Question page URL on quora.com — e.g. `https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-way-to-learn-Python` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** 2 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/quora/answers?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quora.com%2FWhat-is-the-best-way-to-learn-Python" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
