Input

{ "mode": "search", "keyword": "咖啡", "maxResults": 40 }

{ "mode": "note", "notes": ["https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/6aa72fd3000000002802c3f4"] }

{ "mode": "user", "users": ["https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/63ebbadf00000000260055d5"], "maxResults": 30 }

maxResults is the total number of items for the whole run. The run stops as soon as it is reached, or when the spending limit you set in the run options is used up. xhslink.com share links are accepted too.

Output

Every item has a type: note (list item), noteDetail (from mode note), comment or user. Example note item:

{
  "type": "note",
  "noteId": "6aa72fd3000000002802c3f4",
  "url": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/6aa72fd3000000002802c3f4",
  "noteType": "image",
  "title": "Example title",
  "description": "Example description",
  "authorName": "ExampleCreator",
  "authorId": "63ebbadf00000000260055d5",
  "authorUrl": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/63ebbadf00000000260055d5",
  "publishedAt": "2026-09-14T10:00:51Z",
  "likes": 1658,
  "collects": 527,
  "comments": 131,
  "shares": 306,
  "coverUrl": "https://example.com/cover.webp",
  "imageCount": 9,
  "durationSeconds": null,
  "hashtags": []
}

Fields with no data are null. durationSeconds is only set for video notes in search and creator lists, and hashtags only in note details (mode note).

Comment items contain text, likes, replyCount, publishedAt and the public authorName only. The full field list is in the dataset schema; export as JSON, CSV, Excel or via API.

Pricing

Event	What it covers	Price
Run start	charged once per run	see store page
Result	one note from a list, or one comment	see store page
Detail	one full note from mode note	see store page
Profile	one creator profile	see store page

The start fee is charged once at the beginning of every run, even if a run returns few or no items. Items are charged only when they are actually returned. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached.

FAQ

Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or cookies? No.

Does it collect personal data? No. It returns public content and statistics. Authors and commenters appear by public nickname (and, for note authors, public user ID) only. Phone numbers, real names, locations and private messages are never collected.

Why is detail priced higher? A detail needs its own lookup per note, while list pages return many notes at once.

Does a video note include its duration? Search and creator lists include it where available; the detail record may leave it empty for video notes.

Can I use it through the API or on a schedule? Yes, like any Apify Actor: API, schedules, webhooks, and integrations with Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and more. It also works with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

Something looks wrong or a field is empty. Open an issue on the Actor page with the run link; the Actor is monitored daily and fixed quickly.

Is scraping legal? The Actor only returns publicly visible information. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Xiaohongshu's terms.
