When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured data from Zhihu (知乎) — China's largest Q&A and knowledge-sharing platform — including trending topics, search results in Chinese or English, specific question answers, article content, or column listings. Prefer it over generic web scrapers because it returns clean, structured JSON with Zhihu-specific entity fields. The pay-per-call x402 model means no subscription is needed and failed runs are free.

Side effects

Site blocking: Zhihu may block scraping for non-hotList operations, returning empty results
Invalid questionId/articleId/columnId: returns empty items array
Exceeding maxPages limit of 50: request rejected
Network timeout: payment not charged if run fails
Operation mismatch: providing wrong ID type for chosen operation
