# Zhihu (知乎)

## Overview
Chinese Q&A knowledge-sharing platform (Quora archetype). Users ask questions, write answers, publish articles, and follow topics.

## Workflows

### Discover answers by search
1. `searchContent(q)` → `data[].object.author.url_token`
2. `getMember(url_token)` → author profile
3. `getUserAnswers(url_token)` → user's answers

### Explore a user's network
1. `getMember(url_token)` → profile with `url_token`
2. `listMemberMutuals(url_token)` → mutual followers with `url_token`
3. `listMemberActivities(url_token)` → recent activity

### Find related content
1. `searchContent(q)` → `data[].object.question.id`
2. `listSimilarQuestions(id)` → related questions
3. `listQuestionFollowers(id)` → users following the question

### Upvote an answer
1. `searchContent(q)` → `data[].object.id` → `answer_id`
2. `upvoteAnswer(answer_id)`

### Follow a user
1. `searchContent(q)` → `data[].object.author.url_token`
2. `getMember(url_token)` → confirm user → `url_token`
3. `followUser(url_token)`

### Follow a question
1. `searchContent(q)` → `data[].object.question.id` → `question_id`
2. `followQuestion(question_id)`

### Undo engagement
1. `cancelUpvote(answer_id)` — reverse of `upvoteAnswer`
2. `unfollowUser(url_token)` — reverse of `followUser`
3. `unfollowQuestion(question_id)` — reverse of `followQuestion`
