RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Comments Scraper

This actor is retired and no longer listed in Apify Store. Your existing runs, schedules and API calls keep working. New work belongs in Xiaohongshu (RedNote) All-in-One Scraper, which covers comments with no login. Your noteId and noteUrls carry over; add commentsOnly: true to get the comments without the note row.

Pull the full comment thread of any 小红书 note, with no login, cookie or xsec_token: comment text, author, likes, timestamps and samples of nested replies, as clean JSON rows.

Paste a note URL or a bare note ID and the actor pages through the comments until your page or item cap. You do not need a Xiaohongshu account.

The rest of the RedNote suite needs no login either: Search, Note Detail, User Profile, Trending & Category Feed and Product.
