Before you use Zhihu data
- Only currently public content and accounts are read. Private, deleted or login-only data is not available.
- Results are a snapshot at call time; counts and ordering change with the platform.
- Media URLs usually expire, so download what you need to keep.
Choosing an endpoint
- Start with a search endpoint when you have no ID, then call detail or comment endpoints with the IDs it returns.
- For more pages, pass the previous next_cursor back unchanged.
