Nimbryxo StudioQuora Question, Answer & Relationship Dataset Builder
Build a structured Quora dataset from question, answer, profile, Topic, Space, and Post URLs or search terms, with the question-answer-comment chain and relationship links kept intact.
Input schema
Input fields, types, required flags, descriptions, defaults, and prefills come from the published definition. Prefill examples are distinct from defaults.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | optional | Optional dispatcher. auto detects every supported Quora route; typed modes validate startUrls against that route. Typed seed lists still work without mode. |
scrapeDepth | string | optional | Overview emits page metadata without answer/comment/feed expansion; detail enables SSR answers plus bounded GraphQL pagination and optional comments/topic feeds. |
startUrls | array | optional | Question, answer, profile, topic, Space, or search URLs. Mixed lists are auto-detected; invalid hosts become status rows instead of failing the run. |

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | optional | Optional dispatcher. auto detects every supported Quora route; typed modes validate startUrls against that route. Typed seed lists still work without mode. |
scrapeDepth | string | optional | Overview emits page metadata without answer/comment/feed expansion; detail enables SSR answers plus bounded GraphQL pagination and optional comments/topic feeds. |
startUrls | array | optional | Question, answer, profile, topic, Space, or search URLs. Mixed lists are auto-detected; invalid hosts become status rows instead of failing the run. |
searchQueries | array | optional | Best-effort public-index discovery only. Quora native search is login/Cloudflare-gated and robots-disallowed; related-question expansion on a question URL is the reliable discovery axis. |
questionUrls | array | optional | Explicit question-page seeds. Only question routes are accepted. |
answerUrls | array | optional | Explicit answer-page seeds. Parent question joins are emitted only from observed evidence. |
topicUrls | array | optional | Explicit Topic-page seeds for bounded visible question discovery. |
spaceUrls | array | optional | Explicit Space-page seeds for bounded visible feed discovery. |
profileUrls | array | optional | Explicit profile-page seeds. Only profile routes are accepted; emitted as normalized profile rows exactly like a profile route discovered from startUrls. |
postUrls | array | optional | Explicit standalone Post-page seeds. Only post routes are accepted; emitted with the same topic_post field family topic-discovered posts use (post_title, post_body, post_author_*). |
resultTypes | array | optional | Select normalized entities, explicit graph relationships, relationship-collection counts, status rows, and the final run manifest. |
outputFormat | string | optional | Projection after one canonical extraction path. Nested groups emitted answers and comments under explicit question/answer parents; flat keeps entity rows with parent context; edges emits explicit edge rows plus status rows. |
dedupeMode | string | optional | canonical suppresses overlapping entity rows by stable ID or canonical URL (default); none preserves every observed non-status row. The run manifest reports duplicate_records_suppressed. |
onlyNewItems | boolean | optional | Annotate canonical entity rows with new/changed/unchanged/scope_mismatch state and suppress only unchanged semantic rows when includeUnchanged is false. Requires stateStoreId; status, graph, and manifest rows remain visible. |
includeUnchanged | boolean | optional | Retain unchanged semantic entities when incremental state is enabled; output projection does not alter comparison hashes. |
stateStoreId | string | optional | Apify key-value store for canonical entity snapshots. Required when onlyNewItems is enabled; never store cookies or credentials here. |
outputFields | array | optional | Optional allowlist for compact rows, including bounded dotted paths through nested collections (for example answers.answer_text, comments.comment_text, feed.feed_text, or contributors.contributor_name where applicable). Child identity/URL fields and the actor identity, access/status, source, traversal, graph, filter, and parser-envelope fields remain protected. |
includeFieldEvidence | boolean | optional | Include field_sources and fields_present maps. Disable only when a smaller payload is required; semantic values and protected access fields remain unchanged. |
includeUnresolvedEdges | boolean | optional | Retain relationship rows whose endpoint URL was not explicitly observed, with unresolved_reason. Disabling this suppresses only those edge rows and does not imply complete relationships. |
relationshipTypes | array | optional | Explicit relationship-type allowlist for the newly ported follower/following/want-answers/upvoter/space-role relationship collections. Empty leaves the existing always-on content-membership/authorship edges untouched (question_has_topic, answer_authored_by, comment_belongs_to_answer, profile_has_activity, space_has_feed_item, etc.); this allowlist only gates the additional collections below. Sensitive follower/want-answer/upvoter types also require includeSensitiveRelationshipData and their matching collection opt-in. |
includeProfileEdges | boolean | optional | Enable explicitly labeled profile follower/following/followed-question/Space/Topic relationship collections. This does not prove a complete list. |
includeQuestionFollowerEdges | boolean | optional | Enable explicitly labeled question follower or want-answer collections. Sensitive identity rows also require the privacy gate. |
includeAnswerUpvoterEdges | boolean | optional | High-sensitivity opt-in for explicitly labeled answer upvoter identities; requires includeSensitiveRelationshipData=true. |
includeSensitiveRelationshipData | boolean | optional | Explicit privacy gate required for follower, want-answer, and upvoter identity edges. |
includeTargetMetadata | boolean | optional | Retain explicitly visible target link text and image (to_name, to_image_url) on relationship edges. URLs remain evidence; no target navigation or recursive target scraping is performed. |
includeRelationshipCounts | boolean | optional | Emit privacy-preserving relationship_collection rows with the real observed total (collection_total_text/collection_total_value) but no target identities. Requires relationship_collection in resultTypes. Observed totals are not always a server-confirmed count. |
includeSpaceRoleEdges | boolean | optional | Enable explicitly labeled Space contributor, moderator, and admin collections. |
includeSpaceContentEdges | boolean | optional | Retain bounded explicit Space post/question membership edges; this never claims a complete Space inventory. |
maxRelationshipItemsPerCollection | integer | optional | Bound explicit links emitted from each labeled relationship collection. Zero emits no relationship-collection edges and never means an empty collection. |
maxQuestions | integer | optional | Maximum question seeds or discovered question pages to process. |
maxAnswersPerQuestion | integer | optional | Maximum answer rows retained per question after SSR and GraphQL pagination. |
maxAnswers | integer | optional | Global answer-row cap applied after per-question caps. Zero means no configured global answer cap. |
includeQuestion | boolean | optional | Retain normalized question parent rows when selected in resultTypes. |
includeAuthor | boolean | optional | Retain visible author fields and profile/profile-activity rows. When false, author fields and author rows are removed from the emitted shape; no contact enrichment is performed. |
includeAuthorSnapshot | boolean | optional | Opt into bounded public profile snapshots for visible author profile links; profile access/status is separate from answer/comment success and never includes contact enrichment. |
includeTopics | boolean | optional | Retain explicit topic links and topic relationships where observed. |
includeSpaces | boolean | optional | Retain Space rows and SSR feed items. Explicit spaceUrls enable this automatically. |
includeComments | boolean | optional | Opt-in comment rows from Quora's public comment-area GraphQL. robots-sensitive; off by default. When enabled and maxCommentsPerAnswer is 0, the documented fallback is 10 per answer. |
includeEngagementBreakdown | boolean | optional | Retain explicitly labeled per-comment reaction breakdowns alongside aggregate reaction labels. Raw labels are preserved and typed companions are added only when the localized number is unambiguous. |
includeRelatedContent | boolean | optional | Retain links inside an explicitly labeled related/attached region scoped to answer cards; unlabeled navigation and neighboring regions are excluded. |
maxRelatedContent | integer | optional | Bound eligible related-content links per answer when enabled; zero emits no related-content items. |
topCommentsOnly | boolean | optional | Retain only comments with an explicit visible Top/Most helpful/Popular comments label. Unknown comments are excluded and counted; votes and position are not used as top evidence. |
commentSortOrder | string | optional | Order builder comment rows by observed order or an explicitly typed metric/timestamp. Unknown selected metrics remain in stable fallback order and are counted. |
includeReplyGraph | boolean | optional | Enable comment rows plus one-level nested reply extraction from repliesConnection. Requires includeComments. |
includeMedia | boolean | optional | Request explicitly rendered media URL fields scoped to question roots, answer/comment nodes, and Topic post cards where the page exposes them. |
includeFeedText | boolean | optional | Request bounded visible text from explicitly linked Space feed cards; page-level text and complete feed history are excluded. |
includeOutboundLinks | boolean | optional | Request visible non-Quora links scoped to question roots, answer/comment nodes, and Topic post cards; Quora links, comment permalinks, and links outside the owning scope are excluded. |
includeEntityGraph | boolean | optional | Emit explicit relationship rows even when entity_edge is not listed in resultTypes. |
maxCommentsPerAnswer | integer | optional | Maximum comment rows retained per answer when comments are enabled. Schema default 0 is kept for compatibility; comments-enabled runs treat 0 as 10. |
maxCommentDepth | integer | optional | Maximum nested reply depth when includeCommentReplies/includeReplyGraph is enabled. |
maxItems | integer | optional | Cap for normalized entity/status rows before graph and manifest rows. |
maxGraphEdges | integer | optional | Independent cap for deterministic entity_edge rows. |
maxScrollAttempts | integer | optional | Bounded lazy-render scroll budget applied during detail traversal; scroll attempts and termination state are reported. |
maxLoadMoreAttempts | integer | optional | Bound exact visible continuation-control clicks on direct question, answer, topic, and Space collection pages independently from scrolling. Search seeds fan out through their discovered child URLs and retain their own source accounting. |
includeRawEvidence | boolean | optional | Add bounded document hash and optional HTML bytes to each page-level entity row. |
includeHtml | boolean | optional | Include bounded raw-document HTML when raw evidence is enabled and bounded answer-card HTML when answer cards are extracted. |
maxHtmlBytes | integer | optional | Maximum UTF-8 bytes retained for optional raw HTML evidence. |
requestDelay | number | optional | Delay between page batches in seconds; this is not an anti-bot bypass guarantee. |
maxConcurrency | integer | optional | Maximum independent seed pages processed concurrently in deterministic batches. Each seed owns a page; discovered seeds merge in batch order. |
maxNavigationRetries | integer | optional | Bounded retries after navigation exceptions (e.g. a transient proxy-tunnel handshake failure); exponential backoff is reported in navigation_retry_delays_seconds. Defaults to 2 for reliability. |
language | string | optional | Browser language hint. Short language codes and supported regional aliases are accepted and normalize to the short code; auto keeps the actor default. This does not translate content or prove access. |
proxyConfiguration | object | optional | Optional proxy override. The actor starts with a direct connection, retries a fresh session on 403/429, then uses Apify AUTO datacenter proxies, and only falls back to RESIDENTIAL as a proven last resort. Leave this unset; a missing proxyConfiguration never stops the run. |
redactSensitiveQueryParams | boolean | optional | Redact narrow credential-like query parameter values in emitted URLs, graph endpoints, redirect chains, and raw HTML. The original document hash remains based on the captured document. |
rawEvidenceRetentionDays | integer | optional | When zero, suppress raw_html snapshots while retaining hash, size, and redaction diagnostics. Positive values permit bounded HTML for the requested run; external Apify dataset/run retention still applies. |
maxRawEvidenceBytes | integer | optional | Hard upper byte cap for returned raw HTML after the maxHtmlBytes cap. |
maxItemsPerSource | integer | optional | Maximum semantic records emitted from each direct URL, query, or typed source. Status and run-manifest rows are preserved. Use 0 for no per-source cap. |
searchDiscovery | string | optional | How searchQueries are handled. relatedOnly attempts Quora's public search and otherwise emits search_unavailable; bestEffortIndex queries a public web index for indexed Quora URLs. Native Quora search is never claimed. |
maxRelatedQuestions | integer | optional | Related questions to enqueue per question/topic seed. The page usually exposes 26-35; zero disables related-question discovery. |
searchResultsPerQuery | integer | optional | Maximum indexed URLs to use per search query when searchDiscovery=bestEffortIndex. |
maxAnswerPages | integer | optional | Bound QuestionPagedListPaginationQuery pages. Zero derives a bound from maxAnswersPerQuestion. |
maxTopicFeedPages | integer | optional | Bound topic-feed GraphQL pages when includeTopicFeed is enabled. |
maxSpaceFeedBundles | integer | optional | Bound Space feed bundles read from the SSR multifeed. |
includeCommentReplies | boolean | optional | Include nested repliesConnection rows. Requires includeComments. Comments are robots-sensitive and opt-in; zero-row/blocked results produce a status row. |
includeQuoraPlusPreview | boolean | optional | Emit preview-only answers flagged answer_is_quora_plus/answer_text_completeness=preview. The gated remainder is never fetched or presented as full text. |
includeProfileStats | boolean | optional | Emit follower/following/answer/question/post/view counts, joined date, credentials and expertise topics for profile rows. |
includeTopicStats | boolean | optional | Emit topic follower count and most-viewed authors for topic rows. |
includeSpaceStats | boolean | optional | Emit Space follower/member/contributor/moderator/admin counts, description, icon and cover. |
includePostStats | boolean | optional | Emit post upvotes/views/shares/comments, effective access and question-summary flag. |
includeAnswerStats | boolean | optional | Emit answer counters, dates, AI flag, effective access and Quora+ preview flags. |
includeTopicFeed | boolean | optional | Opt into the browser topic-feed GraphQL endpoint. robots-sensitive: keep off unless you accept that compliance caveat. |
includeQuestionAudit | boolean | optional | Opt into the public question /log page to fill question_created_at, question_view_count and the asker fields. robots.txt disallows /*/log for generic agents; the actor never includes this in the default prefill. |
includeProfileHistory | boolean | optional | Opt into the public profile answer/question tab GraphQL and emit bounded profile_activity rows. robots-sensitive and rate-sensitive; on a 400/403 the run keeps a profile_history_unavailable status row. |
maxProfileHistoryPages | integer | optional | Bound for each profile history list (answers and questions) when includeProfileHistory is enabled. Zero derives three pages; one page is roughly ten items. |
maxRelationshipPages | integer | optional | Bound for each public identity-list query (question followers, answer upvoters, profile followers/following, Space roles) after the relationship allowlist and privacy gates. Zero is treated as one page. |

Quora Question, Answer & Relationship Dataset Builder
Build a structured Quora dataset from direct links or best-effort search discovery. Point it at question, answer, profile, Topic, Space, or Post URLs and it returns normalized rows for every entity it finds, with the question → answer → comment chain and author/topic links kept intact. Choose how deep to go, how the rows are shaped, and which relationship or feed data to include.
This is an independent, third-party actor. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by Quora, Inc. No Quora account, login, session cookie, or paid proxy is used or required.
What this actor does
- Accepts question, answer, profile, Topic, Space, and Post URLs directly, plus best-effort search discovery. Typed seed lists (
questionUrls,answerUrls,topicUrls,spaceUrls,profileUrls,postUrls) override route auto-detection. - Empty fields are omitted; a missing field means the source did not expose it, never
nullor a sentinel. - Parses Quora's server-rendered Relay payloads and double-decodes the
window.ansFrontendGlobals.data.inlineQueryResults.push()strings; it does not depend on CSS classes or DOM selectors for the core fields. - Paginates question answers with Quora's public
QuestionPagedListPaginationQuerycursor, up tomaxAnswersPerQuestion/maxAnswers/maxAnswerPages. Every paginated answer is checked against the page question (title/path,linkedQuestion,originalQuestionIfDifferent, and the answer permalink), so unrelated promoted answers cannot become dataset rows while legitimate merged variants still pass. - Paginates comment areas and nested replies through
AllCommentsListQuery(10+ pages withaftercursors), withmaxCommentsPerAnsweras the hard cap; this is opt-in and robots-sensitive. - Optionally reads a Topic feed, a Space SSR multifeed, profile statistics, Topic statistics, and Post metrics.
- Optionally reads the public question
/logaudit for created time, view count, and asker identity (includeQuestionAudit), and paginates profile answer/question history (includeProfileHistory). - Optionally resolves public identity lists for question followers, answer upvoters, profile followers/following, and Space roles through explicitly requested relationship types and the sensitive-data gate.
- Walks the question → answer → comment chain and keeps the links between them (
entity_edgerows), so you can rebuild the conversation tree. - Offers four output shapes via
outputFormat:normalized(separate rows per entity, default),nested(answers grouped under their question, comments under their answer),flat, andedges(relationship rows plus any status rows). - Reports a
statusrow (rather than guessing) whenever a page is blocked, login-gated, removed, or otherwise inaccessible, and arun_manifestrow summarizing the whole run. - Leaves empty content fields out of each row rather than filling them with a guess.
0andfalseare kept as real values. - Never emits cookie/credential material. URLs are redacted when
redactSensitiveQueryParamsis on.
Output per record
Every row carries content_type (question, answer, comment, profile, profile_activity, topic, topic_post, space, space_feed_item, entity_edge, relationship_collection, status, or run_manifest), plus shared fields: record_id, title, url, canonical_url, source_url, access_state, scrape_timestamp, requested_depth, observed_depth, detail_expansion_state, output_format, matched_input, matched_input_kind, and (when search seeds were used) source_query/source_queries.
Every row also carries run-context fields describing how it was collected: source_observations/source_observation_count, redirect_chain, url_redaction_state/url_redactions, proxy_used, proxy_path_used, proxy_resolution_state, session_cookie_count, session_input_state, session_cookie_expiry_state, request_delay_seconds, browser_locale, requested_language, navigation_retries/navigation_retry_delays_seconds, parser_version and parser_strategy. With includeFieldEvidence on (default), rows also get field_sources (where each value came from) and fields_present.
access_state is public for normal pages. Other values include login_required, cloudflare_challenge, rate_limited, not_found, removed, unavailable, quora_plus_or_gated, quora_plus_preview, redirected_to_search, unsupported_url, search_unavailable, answer_pagination_limited, answer_pagination_unavailable, comments_unavailable, comments_capped, topic_feed_unavailable, topic_feed_capped, space_feed_capped, profile_history_limited, profile_history_unavailable, question_audit_unavailable, relationship_identity_unavailable, relationship_identity_capped, relationship_identities_not_observed, state_store_unavailable, state_store_uncommitted and network_error.

Status row — access_state, http_status, error, source_url, and for pages that failed to load final_url, scrape_duration_ms, navigation_attempts, navigation_retries. Run-level status rows (url: run://quora-dataset-builder) report a state store that could not be read (state_store_unavailable), state that was not saved because a source did not finish (state_store_uncommitted), or a run that produced no real rows (no_records_emitted).
Option-dependent fields — with a stateStoreId, entity rows add event_type (new/changed/unchanged/scope_mismatch), state_snapshot_hash, previous_snapshot_hash, state_scope_fingerprint, state_store_state, only_new_items, include_unchanged. With includeRawEvidence, page-level rows add raw_html_sha256, raw_html_bytes, raw_html_truncated, raw_html_returned_bytes, raw_html_redaction_state, raw_html_redactions, raw_evidence_state, raw_evidence_retention_days, plus raw_html when includeHtml is also on and rawEvidenceRetentionDays is above zero. In nested format, question rows carry answers arrays (each answer with its comments) and nested_* count fields. With maxItemsPerSource set, rows add max_items_per_source and per-source cap fields.
Run-manifest row — one per run, summarizing counts and the settings actually applied: run_started_at/_finished_at/_duration_ms, records_emitted, source_pages_attempted, content_type_counts, access_state_counts, input_accounting, requested_result_types, requested_output_fields, dedupe_mode, duplicate_records_suppressed, proxy_path_used, proxy_resolution_state, search_discovery_source, search_discovery_hits, answer_gql_pages, answer_pagination_state, answer_pagination_unrelated_suppressed, comment_gql_pages, topic_feed_pages, space_feed_bundles, quora_plus_preview_count, comment_cap_hit_count, topic_feed_cap_hit_count, profile_history_pages, profile_history_state, relationship_identity_pages, relationship_identity_requests, relationship_identity_states, question_audit_state, question_audit_attempts, legacy_input_notes, hard_limits, gql_calls, query_hashes, and the per-run values of your own input settings echoed back for reconciliation.
Trimming rows, depth, sessions and caps
- Field allowlist.
outputFieldskeeps only the fields you name, applied after extraction; an empty list returns the full row. Nested projection is supported with dotted paths such asanswers.answer_textoranswers.comments.comment_textinnestedoutput. Child identity/URL fields stay in place, andcontent_type, identity, access/status, depth, timing and parser fields are always protected so a trimmed row can still be traced.output_projectionon each row readsfullorselected, and the run manifest records the requested fields.includeFieldEvidencetoggles thefield_sources/fields_presentmaps. - Depth.
scrapeDepth: "detail"(default) runs the capped traversal;overviewemits page-level summaries without answer, comment, profile-activity or Space-feed expansion. Every row reportsrequested_depth,observed_depthanddetail_expansion_state.boundedmeans a configured cap was reached, not that Quora's full history was collected, and blocked pages reportobserved_depth: "status". - Caps.
maxAnswersPerQuestionbounds each question,maxAnswersis a global answer cap,maxAnswerPagesbounds GraphQL pages explicitly,maxItemscaps entity/status rows before graph/manifest rows,maxItemsPerSourcecaps each source, andmaxGraphEdgescaps relationship rows. WhenmaxItems/maxGraphEdgesis 0 the corresponding cap is off.maxRelationshipItemsPerCollectionbounds each labeled relationship collection,maxRelationshipPagesbounds each public identity-list query, andmaxProfileHistoryPagesbounds each profile answer/question list.answer_pagination_limitedis emitted only when a configured page cap or a GraphQL rate limit stopped pagination; an exhausted source is not reported as a cap. - Comments. Set
includeComments: true. WhenmaxCommentsPerAnsweris 0, the documented fallback is 10 per answer. The actor callsAllCommentsListQuerywithaftercursors and a page size derived from your cap (up to 50), so a 24-comment answer is collected as 10 + 10 + 4 when the server pages at ten.includeCommentReplies(orincludeReplyGraph) expands nested replies up tomaxCommentDepth;comment_page_limitedis set only when a cap is actually hit, and acomments_cappedstatus row follows. If the paginated query fails, the actor falls back to the first-page loader rather than inventing rows. Comments use Quora's comment-area GraphQL, whichrobots.txtdisallows for generic agents: keep this opt-in and review your own compliance posture. - Topic feed. Set
includeTopicFeed: trueto call the topic page's own public GraphQL feed.maxTopicFeedPagesbounds pages. This path is also robots-sensitive; keep it opt-in. - Question audit.
includeQuestionAudit: truereads the question's public/logpage forquestion_created_at,question_view_count,question_merge_count, and the asker name/uid/profile/credential. It retries a transient 403 once, then keepsquestion_audit_state: "unavailable"and aquestion_audit_unavailablestatus row./logis robots-disallowed for generic agents and is never part of the daily prefill. - Profile history.
includeProfileHistory: truepaginatesUserProfileAnswersMostRecent_RecentAnswers_QueryandUserProfileQuestionsList_Questions_Queryand emits boundedprofile_activityrows.maxProfileHistoryPages(default 0 = three pages per list) andrequestDelay(used as a 1.5–2.5 s GraphQL pace when above zero) bound the work. A cap setsprofile_history_limited; a 400/403 setsprofile_history_state: "rate_limited"and aprofile_history_unavailablestatus row instead of fabricated rows. - Identity lists. Identity rows are emitted only when
relationshipTypesexplicitly requests them, the matching family flag is on, andincludeSensitiveRelationshipDatais on for sensitive types. The public GraphQL operations cover profile followers/following people/questions/Spaces/Topics, question followers, answer upvoters, and Space admins/contributors/moderators/followers.maxRelationshipItemsPerCollectionandmaxRelationshipPagesbound every list; Space role calls run from awww.quora.compage context. These lists are robots-sensitive and rate-sensitive; a failure keeps arelationship_identity_unavailableorrelationship_identities_not_observedstatus row, and a page/item cap addsrelationship_identity_capped. - Sessions and proxies. No account, login, cookie, or session secret is used. The transport ladder is direct (
curl_cffi, fresh session per attempt) → optional user proxy override → Apify AUTO datacenter → RESIDENTIAL only as a hardcoded last resort after the free rungs fail.

Every output field this actor can emit is listed under Output per record above. Fields whose source is absent on a given page are omitted, not set to null or a sentinel.
Complete schema input inventory
Every input is optional. The daily prefill uses one public question URL with a small answer cap, comments and feeds off, and no paid proxy.

FAQ
Do I need a Quora account? No. Direct public question, answer, profile, Topic, Space, and Post pages are read without login. The actor never asks for, stores, or emits cookies or session secrets.
Why did I get a status row instead of question/answer data?
Quora showed a login wall, Cloudflare challenge, a removed page, or an unsupported redirect for that URL. The actor reports this honestly as a status row instead of guessing at data that was not there. A run with zero real rows also gets a no_records_emitted status row and a non-success status message.
Why do I sometimes get fewer answers than maxAnswersPerQuestion?
The actor reads the server-rendered answers, filters out answers whose question is provably unrelated, then paginates the public GraphQL cursor up to your cap. If the question genuinely has fewer answers, the cursor stops; you get the answers that were observable and no answer_pagination_limited row, because the source was exhausted rather than capped. answer_pagination_limited appears only when maxAnswerPages/your cap stopped a non-exhausted source or Quora rate-limited a pagination request, and the page's known answerCount is not already satisfied; a non-rate GraphQL failure uses answer_pagination_unavailable. Neither case fabricates an answer.
How do I get question created time, view count, or the asker?
Set includeQuestionAudit: true. The actor reads the public /<question>/log page (robots-sensitive, opt-in) and fills question_created_at, question_view_count, question_merge_count, and the question_author_* fields. Without it, those fields are omitted rather than guessed. A blocked /log leaves question_audit_state: "unavailable" and a status row.
How do I get more than the three visible profile history items?
Set includeProfileHistory: true. The actor paginates the public answer/question tab connections into profile_activity rows, bounded by maxProfileHistoryPages and paced by requestDelay. This GraphQL path is robots- and rate-sensitive; a 400/403 leaves a profile_history_unavailable status row and no fabricated rows.
What is the difference between the four outputFormat values?
normalized keeps every entity as its own row (the default). nested groups each question's answers (and each answer's comments) underneath it; rows without a matching parent stay at the top level with an orphan reason. flat is like normalized, except answer rows also get question context and comment rows get answer_url. edges returns the relationship rows between entities plus any status rows.
Can I get a Quora account's followers, question followers, answer upvoters, or Space roles?
Yes, as explicit opt-ins. Request the relationship type in relationshipTypes, turn on the matching family flag (includeProfileEdges, includeQuestionFollowerEdges, includeAnswerUpvoterEdges, or includeSpaceRoleEdges), and set includeSensitiveRelationshipData: true for follower/upvoter/want-answer types. The actor then calls the public identity-list GraphQL operations, paginates up to maxRelationshipPages, and emits only identities whose profile/question/Space/Topic URLs it observed. It may also use visible DOM links as a fallback. These paths are robots- and rate-sensitive; failures produce relationship_identity_unavailable or relationship_identities_not_observed status rows. It never invents identities.
What does the incremental re-scrape (onlyNewItems) actually compare?
It hashes each entity's semantic content and compares it to the previous run stored under stateStoreId, tagging each row new, changed, unchanged, or scope_mismatch (the previous run used different settings). Rows are only dropped when onlyNewItems is on and includeUnchanged is off. Status and manifest rows are never dropped by this setting. If any requested source did not finish, the new state is not saved and a state_store_uncommitted status row tells you so.
Why are some text/media fields missing even with includeMedia/includeHtml on?
Those fields are only populated when Quora's public payload actually contains that content for the entity in question. The toggles request the data; they do not guarantee every entity has it.
Is search native Quora search?
No. Quora's native /search?q= is login/Cloudflare-gated for logged-out clients and is disallowed by robots.txt. searchQueries uses related-question discovery by default and an optional third-party best-effort index; if no public results are discoverable it emits a search_unavailable status row.
What are the hard limitations?
Native Quora search is not available cookielessly: /search?q= redirects and the public search GraphQL returns no connection. Quora+ smart_distribution answers may be preview/truncated; they are flagged answer_is_quora_plus and their observed completeness is reported, and no gated remainder is fabricated. Space all-time views/upvotes/comments are private (tested across ten diverse Spaces), Topic description and question count are absent, and question description is absent. Space allTimeFollowers is emitted as space_all_time_followers only when the payload carries it (not every Space does).
Question created/view/asker, full profile history, comment/reply pagination, and identity lists are technically available through public pages/GraphQL but are robots-sensitive and/or rate-sensitive opt-ins; they are off by default and not part of the daily prefill. Be aware that robots.txt for generic agents disallows / broadly, including /*_POST, /*/log, /*/followers, /*/following, and /*/comments; product/legal review decides whether to enable those opt-ins. Quora URLs are valid in a browser, but plain HTTP clients can receive a Cloudflare 403 on HEAD/GET; the actor fetches them with TLS impersonation.
Is this affiliated with Quora? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads public Quora pages; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Quora, Inc. You are responsible for how you use the data.
