Questions tagged [quora]

Quora is a community-driven question-and-answer website with a JSON-based API.

Quora is a community-driven question-and-answer website. In addition to asking and answering questions, users can collaboratively edit other questions and answers, much like Stack Overflow and other Stack Exchange websites.

In January 2013, Quora announced their blogging platform. Blog posts on Quora are indexed by the same categories that questions and answers are, offering bloggers an instant audience in other Quora users.

The Quora Extension API was released in January 2011 in alpha with the ability to read data about the currently logged-in user. The API returns JSON-encoded data.
