This snippet allows you to get a Quora profile's data posted into a channel using a slash command. Make sure to register a command named "quora-profile-info" and add an Option type String using the [command builder](https://autocode.com/tools/discord/command-builder/).
// if you're unsure how to get a user's username, check this answer - https://qr.ae/pGB8Ol
const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});
const quora = require('quora-data-scraper');
let event = context.params.event;
let qUsername = event.data.options[0].value;
// tries to run the block
try {
// returns profile data: https://justpaste.it/82s2w
let User = await quora.fetchUser(`https://quora.com/profile/${qUsername}`);
// gets all of the `name` fields in the `knowledges` array
let aKnowledges = User.knowledges.map(({name}) => name).join(`\n`);
