Quora user profile
A public Quora profile: name, credential, bio, followers and following, answer, question and post counts, all-time and last-month content views, Top Writer years, work, education and location credentials, publishers, Spaces, and the first items Quora shows logged-out visitors on the profile (the newest posts and answers, or with tab=answers the pinned and newest answers) with text, upvotes, views, shares and comments. Logged out, Quora lists only those first items, so has_more tells whether the profile has more. Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
usernamerequired | string | Profile name as in the profile link (quora.com/profile/<name>), or the whole profile link. Example: Adam-DAngelo |
tab | all | answers | Which list to return with the profile: all (newest posts and answers) or answers (pinned and newest answers). Default: all |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/quora/v1/user?username=Adam-DAngelo" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/quora/v1/user",
params={"username": "Adam-DAngelo"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/quora/v1/user");
url.searchParams.set("username", "Adam-DAngelo");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
