What you get#
Onekey exposes Quora as 7 endpoints behind one API key: 2 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 5 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for Quora also works for the rest of the messaging & communities category.
Endpoints#
| Endpoint | What it does | Parameters | Credits | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
answers | Answers listed on a Quora question page (JSON-LD suggestedAnswer). | slug* | 3 | beta may need a pack |
posts | Search Quora Space posts. | query* | 5 | beta may need a pack |
profile | Quora profile card: name/credential, bio snippet, image. | name* | 1 | beta may need a pack |
question | Quora question page: question text, answer count, top answer (JSON-LD QAPage). | slug* | 1 | beta may need a pack |
search | Search Quora questions. | query* | 5 | beta may need a pack |
spaces | Search Quora Spaces. | query* | 5 | beta may need a pack |
topics | Search Quora topics. | query* | 5 | beta may need a pack |
A * marks a required parameter. Each endpoint name links to its reference page with the full parameter table, caching window and a recorded response.
Make a request#
This calls quora.profile (1 credit, beta). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.
