Quora Questions Scraper — Search Results

Scrape Quora search results for any keyword and get every question as clean, structured JSON — question text, URL, answer count and a preview of the top answer. No API key, no login, no proxy required.

Built for content marketers, SEO teams and researchers who need to know exactly what people are asking about a topic.

Why this Actor

• No account, no API key, no proxy budget — reads the public Quora search pages directly with browser-grade TLS.
• Answer-count signal — every row includes how many answers the question has, so you can rank questions by engagement.
• Top-answer preview — a 500-character preview of the top answer gives instant context without another fetch.
• Multi-keyword support — pass several search terms and pull question sets for a whole topic in one run.
• Pay per result — a small fee per question scraped; a 100-question run costs a fraction of a cent.

How it works

For each keyword the Actor requests the Quora search results page, parses the question list, and outputs one dataset item per question — about 10 questions per page, paging automatically up to maxQuestionsPerKeyword.

Input

{
  "keywords": ["best programming languages 2025"],
  "maxQuestionsPerKeyword": 10
}

Field	Type	Description
keywords	array	Search terms — required
maxQuestionsPerKeyword	integer	Questions to scrape per keyword (default 10, max 200)

Output (one item per question)

{
  "keyword": "best programming languages 2025",
  "questionText": "What are the best programming languages to learn in 2025?",
  "questionUrl": "https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-programming-languages-to-learn-in-2025",
  "answerCount": 42,
  "topAnswerPreview": "Python and JavaScript remain top choices for beginners..."
}

FAQ

Do I need a Quora account or API key? No. The Actor reads the public search results pages directly.

Why is topAnswerPreview truncated? It holds the first 500 characters of the top answer — enough for context, small enough to keep datasets lean.

How many questions can I get? Up to maxQuestionsPerKeyword (max 200 per keyword). Quora pages carry ~10 questions each and the Actor pages through automatically.

Are the questions de-duplicated across keywords? Each keyword is searched independently, so the same question can appear under multiple keywords — that is intentional and useful for keyword mapping.

Is scraping this legal? Questions and answers are public and unauthenticated. You are responsible for complying with Quora's terms and applicable laws for how you use the data.
