Xiaohongshu User Posts Scraper

Fetch the latest public notes from specific Xiaohongshu creators without mixing search, detail or commerce operations into the run. Each creator ID returns its current first page of posts with text, type, engagement and direct links.

Unofficial / independent tool. This Actor is not affiliated with, authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by Xiaohongshu. It retrieves publicly available data through a third-party API. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with Xiaohongshu's terms and all applicable laws.

What this Actor does

This Actor focuses on one job: fetch the latest public notes posted by one or more xiaohongshu creators on xiaohongshu.com. The single-purpose input is designed for scheduled creator monitoring and agent pipelines that already know which accounts matter.

• Fetches the latest public note page for each creator ID.
• Returns note title, text, type and creator identity.
• Includes likes, comments, collects, shares and available views.
• Adds a canonical Xiaohongshu link for every note.

Input

Field	Type	Description
userIds	array	Creator user IDs from Xiaohongshu profile URLs or search output. Returns the latest note page for each creator.
maxItems	integer	Maximum records to return (caps your spend).
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional Apify Proxy settings.

How it works

• Direct API, no browser. Data is fetched over HTTP — no headless browser, no login, no cookies to manage.
• Honest failure. Transient upstream blocks (rate limits, edge protection) are retried with exponential backoff. If the source stays unavailable, the run fails loudly instead of returning a misleading empty dataset.
• De-duplicated. Items are de-duplicated by their identifier within a run.
• Pay per result. Each delivered row charges one result event ($0.01); maxItems is a hard cap on both volume and spend.

Use cases

• Monitor selected creators for newly published notes.
• Compare posting cadence and engagement across a creator shortlist.
• Collect creator content for campaign and competitor research.
• Feed creator updates into scheduled agent workflows.

Integration

Run it from the Apify Console, on a schedule, or call it programmatically via the Apify API, the JavaScript / Python clients, or MCP. Output can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pushed to your own storage.

FAQ

Do I need a Xiaohongshu account, cookies, or to log in? No. The Actor only reads publicly available data.

How am I billed? $0.01 per returned item; maxItems caps the total.

Can I schedule it or call it from my own code? Yes — use Apify Schedules, the REST API, the official clients, or MCP.

Is this an official Xiaohongshu product? No. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Xiaohongshu.
