What is Zhihu Search API?

BrowserAct's Zhihu Search API lets you extract full article details from Zhihu (知乎) article search results through a single API request, without building crawler scripts or maintaining custom browser automation.

This API is designed for keyword-based article discovery and full-content extraction. Simply provide keywords and set Date_limit. BrowserAct will search relevant Zhihu articles, open each article detail page, extract the complete article content, and return it directly via API.

It is ideal for content monitoring, media research, trend tracking, knowledge base building, and internal article archives.

What data can you get through Zhihu Search API?

The API extracts structured article details from the Zhihu article detail page, including:

• Title: Full article title
• Body_Content: Full body content of the article
• Image_URL: Main image URL or article cover image URL when available
• Author: Article author or publishing account name
• Publication_Date: Article publication date
• URL_Link: Original article URL

Why Zhihu Search API is right for you

• Keyword-based discovery

Search Zhihu articles by keyword and extract structured data from matching results.

• Full-content extraction

Open each article detail page and extract the complete article body, not just list-level snippets.

• Zero operational overhead

No proxy setup, crawler scripts, or anti-bot handling required. BrowserAct runs the workflow in the background.

• Production-ready output

Consistent, structured responses designed for content systems, monitoring dashboards, and automation workflows.

In short:

Keyword → API call → Full article details delivered
