EveryData platform API
Quora API
Across Quora, Quora questions, answers, posts, profiles, and topic pages are available through 6 separately documented actions, with `search`, `questions`, `answers` illustrating the distinct request shapes.
Use `search` for mixed public Quora results or `questions` for question pages. Both accept `keyword`, but their response objects and fields remain distinct.

What does each Quora action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

How to use the Quora API
- 01Read the public catalog and choose a platform action.
- 02Send the platform, action, and required parameters to POST /api/v1/social.
- 03Handle a synchronous result or poll the returned job ID when the selected action is asynchronous.
- 04Store the structured response fields needed by your application.
curl -X POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"platform":"quora","action":"search","params":{"keyword":"<keyword>"}}'
Quora API questions
What can I retrieve with the Quora API?
Set platform to quora. The current catalog lists search, questions, answers, posts, profiles, and more. These action names identify different Quora objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a Quora `search` request?
Specifies search keywords across Quora search actions including questions, answers, posts, profiles, and topics. It performs keyword search across those entity types and does not fetch single objects by direct URL. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can Quora `search` return?
Its declared schema includes type, title, posted_at, and answer_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Quora action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
