Where this tool sits

Platforms: RedNote (Xiaohongshu)

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Scraper — notes, engagement and images

Pull public RedNote posts with real engagement numbers — description, author, likes, collects, comment count, share count, publish time and image URLs. No login, no cookies, no API key.

RedNote (小红书) is where 300M+ users research products before buying. This Actor reads the public explore feed, or any note link you paste, and returns clean structured JSON.

Who uses this

Brand and market researchers tracking what Chinese consumers say about a category.
Social listening teams measuring engagement on posts that mention a product.
Trend analysts watching what surfaces on the explore feed day to day.
Agencies benchmarking creator reach before a campaign.

What you get

Field	Example
`description`	full post text
`authorName`	面食小助手
`likedCount`	59000
`collectedCount`	737
`commentCount`	3136
`shareCount`	324
`publishedAt`	ISO 8601 timestamp
`images`	array of image URLs

Counts are returned as real numbers: RedNote writes large values as 1.3万 (13,000) and 2.5亿 (250,000,000), and this Actor expands them rather than reporting 1.3.

Input

{
  "noteUrls": [],
  "includeExploreFeed": true,
  "maxItems": 20
}

Field	Description
`noteUrls`	RedNote note links. Paste the full URL including `?xsec_token=…`.
`includeExploreFeed`	Read the public explore feed. Also how valid note tokens are obtained.
`maxItems`	1–200, default 20.

Why the token matters

RedNote note links carry a short-lived xsec_token. A bare /explore/<id> returns "page not found" — so copy the whole URL as shared, or leave noteUrls empty and let the explore feed supply both the ids and their tokens.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a RedNote account, cookie or API key? No.

Can I get the comment text? No — and no honest scraper can without an account. RedNote serves comment bodies through a separately signed endpoint, so this Actor returns the accurate commentCount and does not fabricate the rest.

Can I search by keyword? Not currently. RedNote's search results are not present in the public HTML. Use the explore feed or supply note URLs.

Am I charged for blocked or empty runs? No. Only genuine note rows are charged; blocked pages, expired tokens and empty runs return uncharged diagnostics.

Billing

$0.90 per 1,000 notes ($0.0009 each), plus $0.001 each time a run starts — the lowest per-note price of any RedNote/Xiaohongshu scraper on the Apify Store with an active user base; the next cheapest, actorzlab/rednote-scraper (18 monthly users), is $3.00 per 1,000 even on its cheapest volume tier.

Two charges apply: a $0.001 run-start fee each time a run begins, and the per-note fee for notes actually returned. A run that returns nothing costs only the start fee.

Limits and honest notes

Public notes only. Private and deleted notes return an uncharged NOT_FOUND row.
Tokens expire. If a saved URL stops working, re-copy it from RedNote.
Comment text and keyword search are not available publicly (see FAQ).
