/metaculus/questionsReturns Metaculus question rows. The endpoint fails closed, returning an error instead of partial data, when the source responds with an authenticated-only response or a challenge page.
Response notes
- `data.questions` contains public page-derived rows, not the authenticated Metaculus API payload. - Forecast values are extracted from the public aggregate payload when present. - Upstream authentication, challenge, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_questions
/metaculus/question/{id}Returns one Metaculus question by numeric `id` (a question or post id). The response has the title, status, question type, unit, open, close and resolve times, forecaster and forecast counts, comment count, latest forecast center and bounds, categories, projects and URL.
Response notes
- The response is derived from public page data, not from the authenticated Metaculus API. - Upstream authentication, challenge, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_question
/metaculus/question/{id}/forecastsReturns the latest forecast summary per aggregation method for one Metaculus question, by numeric `id`. Each method has its name, forecaster count, center, lower and upper values, and number of history points. `recency_weighted`, `unweighted` and `single_aggregation` are listed first when present. The question details come with it.
Response notes
- `data.public_page_derived` is `true`. - Preferred methods are ordered first when present: `recency_weighted`, `unweighted`, `single_aggregation`. - Each method exposes forecaster count, the first center/lower/upper value, raw center/bound arrays, and available history point count. - Invalid ids return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge pages, missing aggregation data, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_question_forecasts
/metaculus/question/{id}/forecast-historyReturns public aggregation forecast history points for one Metaculus question. The `method` enum accepts `recency_weighted`, `unweighted`, and `single_aggregation`.
Response notes
- `data.public_page_derived` is `true`. - Each point exposes timestamp bounds, forecaster count, the first center/lower/upper value, and the raw center/bound arrays. - Invalid ids, methods, or `max_points` values return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge, missing history, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_question_forecast_history
/metaculus/question/{id}/metadataReturns public metadata for one Metaculus question, including option labels, option history, scaling metadata, resolution fields, and timing fields when present.
Response notes
- `data.public_page_derived` is `true`. - `data.options`, `data.all_options_ever`, and `data.options_history` are present for public multiple-choice questions when the page exposes them. - `data.scaling`, `data.resolution`, and `data.possibilities` are returned only when public page data exposes those fields. - Invalid ids return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge pages, missing question payloads, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_question_metadata
/metaculus/question/{id}/optionsReturns public multiple-choice option labels and latest option-level forecast values for one Metaculus question. The `method` enum accepts `recency_weighted`, `unweighted`, and `single_aggregation`.
Response notes
- `data.public_page_derived` is `true`. - `data.options` aligns public option labels with latest aggregation arrays by index. - Each option may include center, lower, upper, mean, forecast value, and forecaster count when the public payload exposes those fields. - Invalid ids or methods return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Non-option questions, missing option labels, missing aggregation data, upstream authentication, challenge pages, or parser drift are returned as typed upstream errors.
MCP tool metaculus_question_options
/metaculus/category/{slug}/questionsReturns Metaculus question rows for a category. Allowed category slugs: artificial-intelligence, computing-and-math, cryptocurrencies, economy-business, elections, environment-climate, geopolitics, health-pandemics, law, metaculus, natural-sciences, nuclear, politics, social-sciences, space, sports-entertainment, technology.
Response notes
- `data.feed` is `category`. - `data.source_url` uses `/questions/?categories={slug}&for_main_feed=false`. - Unsupported category slugs return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_category_questions
/metaculus/tournament/{slug}/questionsReturns Metaculus question rows for one public tournament, filtered by its slug. A slug that does not exist returns 404.
Response notes
- `data.feed` is `tournament`. - Every returned question belongs to the requested tournament; `data.questions[].projects[].slug` carries it. - A tournament slug that does not exist returns `404`, not an unfiltered feed. - A tournament that exists but currently has no questions returns `200` with an empty `data.questions`. - Invalid slugs or limits return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge pages, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_tournament_questions
/metaculus/project/{slug}/questionsReturns Metaculus question rows for one public project, filtered by its slug. A slug that does not exist returns 404.
Response notes
- `data.feed` is `project`. - Every returned question belongs to the requested project; `data.questions[].projects[].slug` carries it. - A project slug that does not exist returns `404`, not an unfiltered feed. - A project that exists but currently has no questions returns `200` with an empty `data.questions`. - Invalid slugs or limits return invalid-parameter errors before upstream IO. - Upstream authentication, challenge pages, or parser drift is returned as a typed upstream error.
MCP tool metaculus_project_questions
/metaculus/comments-feedReturns Metaculus question rows for the questions referenced by the most recent public comments, in comment recency order. Comment bodies are not exposed.
Response notes

How to scrape Metaculus
Crawlora 的 Metaculus 端点是针对无需凭证的公开 Metaculus 页面发起的 GET 请求,遇到已认证的响应或 Cloudflare 验证页面时会直接失败,而不会返回部分数据。列表类:/metaculus/questions 支持 limit 和 topic 参数;/metaculus/category/{slug}/questions 用于获取某个分类;/metaculus/project/{slug}/questions 和 /metaculus/tournament/{slug}/questions 用于获取某个项目或锦标赛;/metaculus/comments-feed 和 /metaculus/top-comments 则返回近期及高赞公开评论所对应的问题。按问题维度:/metaculus/question/{id}、用于获取最新社区综合预测的 /metaculus/question/{id}/forecasts、支持 method(recency_weighted、unweighted 或 single_aggregation)和 max_points 参数的 /metaculus/question/{id}/forecast-history、面向多选题的 /metaculus/question/{id}/options,以及提供解析、量表和时间字段的 /metaculus/question/{id}/metadata。不构成投资、预测或决策建议。
对公开信息流调用 GET /metaculus/questions?limit=<n>&topic=<topic>,或使用 /metaculus/category/{slug}/questions(slug 如 artificial-intelligence、economy-business、elections)、/metaculus/project/{slug}/questions 或 /metaculus/tournament/{slug}/questions 获取指定集合。未知的 slug 会返回 404。
GET /metaculus/question/{id} 获取规范化的问题数据,GET /metaculus/question/{id}/forecasts 获取按方法划分的最新社区综合预测。对于多选题,/metaculus/question/{id}/options 会返回各选项标签及其最新数值。
GET /metaculus/question/{id}/forecast-history?method=recency_weighted&max_points=<n> 返回公开综合预测的历史数据点,这正是预测跟踪工具用于绘图的序列。/metaculus/question/{id}/metadata 补充解析、量表和时间字段,便于解读这些数据。
GET /metaculus/comments-feed 和 /metaculus/top-comments 返回过去一周内最新及最高赞公开评论所对应的问题,这是判断关注点转移方向的低成本信号。评论正文本身不会被返回。
FAQ
面向正在评估 Crawlora 是否适用于支持的公开 Metaculus 预测页面的开发者的解答。
是的。Crawlora 为支持的公开 Metaculus 页面提供 Metaculus 端点,并通过文档化的 API 路由返回结构化 JSON。
不是。Crawlora 并非 Metaculus,也不提供 Metaculus 官方 API 文档。如需官方平台指南,请参阅 Metaculus 自身的文档;如需 Crawlora 端点参数和响应架构,请查阅 Crawlora Docs。
当前目录包括公开问题、问题详情、预测值、预测历史、元数据、期权、分类问题列表、锦标赛问题列表、项目问题列表、评论动态记录,以及在支持范围内的高赞评论。
可以。在支持范围内使用问题预测和预测历史端点,然后按问题 ID 和时间戳存储快照,用于研究仪表盘或监控工作流。
不可以。Crawlora 仅返回公开研究数据,不构成投资、预测、财务、法律或决策建议,下游使用责任由客户自行承担。
调用 Crawlora 的 Metaculus 端点时,你使用的是以 x-api-key 请求头发送的 Crawlora API 密钥。这些 Crawlora 路由不需要单独的 Metaculus 密钥。
在当前目录支持的范围内是支持的。Metaculus 端点集合包括带 slug 和 limit 参数的分类、锦标赛和项目问题列表路由。
是的。Metaculus 端点返回规范化 JSON,并在可用时提供文档化的请求参数、响应架构、示例以及经过 Playground 测试的调用。
先通过 Crawlora 的 /metaculus/questions 端点或分类、项目、锦标赛路由列出问题,再对 /metaculus/question/{id}、/metaculus/question/{id}/forecasts 和 /metaculus/question/{id}/forecast-history 发起 GET 请求,获取当前综合预测及其历史。所有调用都是针对公开页面的 GET 请求。
recency_weighted、unweighted 和 single_aggregation,作为 method 参数传给 /metaculus/question/{id}/forecast-history 和 /metaculus/question/{id}/options 端点。
不会。comments-feed 和 top-comments 端点按评论顺序返回近期及高赞公开评论所对应的问题,但不包含上游的评论正文。
端点会直接失败:返回一个有文档说明的错误,而不是部分数据或已认证的数据,并且该次调用不会按成功计费。
不是。这些端点返回的是用于研究和跟踪的公开社区预测和元数据,不构成投资、预测或决策建议。
