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.

What do the Quora search parameters mean?
Search Quora for questions, answers, posts, profiles, topics or Spaces matching a keyword, optionally narrowed to one result type and a publishing window. Each row carries its type, since mixed results share one set of fields.

How to use the Quora API

- 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 record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Quora action return immediately?
Actions labeled asynchronous return a job ID you poll. Every other action can also run asynchronously: add "mode": "async" to the request body to receive a job ID immediately, useful for slow tasks or large limits. The current catalog contains sync delivery.
