# Quora Answers API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/quora/answers)

> Returns Quora answers matching a keyword, including the answer text, author name and credential, upvotes, views, and the parent question title.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/quora/answers` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Search keywords, for example learn programming. |
| `time` | no | Recency window: all, hour, day, week, month, or year. Default all. (all \| hour \| day \| week \| month \| year) |
| `limit` | no | Maximum rows to return, 1 to 10. Default 10. |
| `since` | no | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| `until` | no | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
