How to Scrape Quora Questions and Answers for Content Research

Quora has millions of Q&A threads with valuable market insights.

Quora Data Access

Quora does not have a public API. But you can:

1. Google Cache

2. Quora RSS Feeds

Quora profiles have RSS:

const $ = cheerio.load(html);
const questions = $(".q-text").map((i, el) => $(el).text()).get();
