Which Quora profile fields can I use for expert research?

Profile returns identity, credentials, biography, follower and content counts, employment, education, expertise topics and Space participation. Use these fields to build an expert research card with links to the source profile.

Can I retrieve Quora topics and their most viewed writers?

Topic Details returns the topic name, follower count, photo, related topics and listed most viewed writers. Use those records to explore related subjects and identify writers for further profile research.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
