## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Xiaohongshu (RedNote) All-in-One Scraper

One Actor for everything you need from **Xiaohongshu / 小红书 / RedNote** — notes, creators, comments, mall products, and trending — with clean, flat JSON output. No login, no cookies, no browser automation to babysit.

Fill in only the inputs you care about; each one turns on a capability:

| Input | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Note search keywords** | Notes matching a keyword (title, body, likes, collects, comments, author, images/video, URL) |
| **User IDs** | Every note posted by a creator |
| **Product search keywords** | RedNote mall products (price, original price, vendor, stock, SKU count, images) |
| **Product IDs** | Full product detail (title, price, image carousel, full SKU / variant list) |
| **Include trending** | The live RedNote hot-search list with rank + heat score |
| **Include note comments** | Top-level comments attached to each scraped note |

Every output row carries a `dataType` field (`note` / `product` / `trending`) so a mixed run is trivial to split downstream.

### Example input

```json
{
  "searchKeywords": ["护肤", "city walk"],
  "productKeywords": ["面膜"],
  "includeTrending": true,
  "includeComments": true,
  "maxCommentsPerNote": 5,
  "maxItems": 200,
  "sortType": "popularity_descending"
}
````

### Example output (a note)

```json
{
  "dataType": "note",
  "noteId": "655...e4",
  "url": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/655...e4",
  "type": "video",
  "title": "敏感肌护肤避坑指南",
  "description": "...",
  "likedCount": 25431,
  "collectedCount": 8120,
  "commentsCount": 642,
  "coverUrl": "https://...",
  "author": { "userId": "5a3...a2", "nickname": "..." },
  "comments": [{ "content": "太有用了", "likeCount": 31 }]
}
```

### Use cases

- **Trend & content research** — find the best-performing notes and live hot-search topics for any keyword.
- **Influencer / KOL discovery** — pull a creator's full note history and engagement.
- **E-commerce & pricing** — track mall products, prices, vendors and SKUs for competitive research.
- **Social listening** — collect notes + comments to gauge sentiment around a brand or product.
- **Feed an LLM / agent** — flat JSON that drops straight into RAG, analysis, or automation pipelines.

### Output

One item per note / product / trending word, pushed to the dataset. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull via the Apify API. Pricing is pay-per-result, so you only pay for what you scrape.

### Notes

- Chinese keywords return the most complete results.
- User IDs are the 24-character hex id from a profile URL (e.g. `5a34cd1811be103ff72f06a2`).
- For very large jobs you can route requests through Apify Proxy in the input.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search RedNote notes for. Each keyword is searched and paginated independently. Chinese keywords return the most results.

## `userIds` (type: `array`):

Xiaohongshu user IDs (the 24-character hex id from a profile URL, e.g. 5a34cd1811be103ff72f06a2) whose posted notes you want to scrape.

## `productKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keywords to search the RedNote mall (商城) for. Returns product cards with price, vendor, stock and SKU info.

## `productIds` (type: `array`):

RedNote product / SKU ids to fetch full detail for (title, price, image carousel, full SKU/variant list).

## `includeTrending` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch the current RedNote trending hot-search words with their rank and heat score.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total number of items to scrape across all sources (notes + products + trending).

## `sortType` (type: `string`):

How to sort keyword note-search results.

## `noteType` (type: `string`):

Filter note-search results by note type.

## `includeComments` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch top-level comments for each scraped note. Slower and uses more API calls.

## `maxCommentsPerNote` (type: `integer`):

Maximum top-level comments to fetch per note when 'Include note comments' is enabled.

## `productSort` (type: `string`):

Optional sort for product search (leave empty for default relevance).

## `minPrice` (type: `string`):

Optional minimum price filter for product search.

## `maxPrice` (type: `string`):

Optional maximum price filter for product search.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Route the upstream API calls through an Apify Proxy to vary the source IP if the upstream ever rate-limits the datacenter range.

{
  "searchKeywords": [
    "护肤"
