I'm making a scraper to read question / answer data for students that supports RDFa, Json LD, and Microdata, but Quora confuses me. I need to understand how it's read so that I can read it in my HTML question / answer scraper for situations like this.
In a google search, I see a QA block, but if I go to the URL https://www.quora.com/What-happens-when-sodium-chloride-and-water-is-heated-to-dry I don't see any evidence of JSON LD, RDFa or Microdata. How is google reading quora's question / answer information?
Possible reasons I can think of:
PS: Even google doesn't show support for other formats: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/structured-data/qapage
It's shown only to search engine user agents, use Googlebot
.
@nikrant25 showed the schema does indeed exist: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results/result/r%2Fq-and-a?id=3aNOu3qg7TnhPNz-_xKuuQ . So I decided to do a scrape with Googlebot
as the useragent and the schema showed up.
