zhihu API

This is just an UNOFFICIAL project, aiming to provide basic data interface for data crawling and further research.

Install

$ npm install zhihu-api --save

Usage

To request data, you must specify your cookie to simulate login. All data interfaces return a Promise.

For example:

const fs = require('fs')
const api = require('zhihu-api')()

api.cookie(fs.readFileSync('./cookie'))

api.user('zhihuadmin')
    .profile()
    .then(console.log)
    .catch(console.trace)

the result is:
