How health is measured
- Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
- Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
- A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
- Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
- Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Use the profiles action on Quora. Accepts these parameters: keyword and date_range. Returns these fields: author_url, title, type, and credential.
Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.
Request parameters

Response example
Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
type | Record type; values depend on the capability (for example video / image / text). |
url | Link to the record on the source platform. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
answer_count | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
is_locked | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
is_sensitive | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
text | Body text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_url | Link to the author's profile on the source platform. |
author_credential | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
upvote_count | Keeps the platform's own meaning |

view_count | Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
question_id | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
question_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
space_name | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
user_id | User's unique ID on the source platform. |
credential | Keeps the platform's own meaning |

photo_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
Errors and billing
- 401
- Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
- 422
- Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
- 402
- Insufficient balance. Top up first.
- 429
- Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
- 503
- Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
- 200 empty
- The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

- Quora: Credentials Are Background Statements, Not Verified Qualifications ↗
Quora defines Profile and Topic credentials as short statements of expertise, experience, or interest that must be helpful and truthful. This policy explicitly does not apply to Spaces. Here, author_credential or credential is not treated as official certification, nor is this rule extrapolated as a Space credential policy.
