## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## RedNote (Xiaohongshu) User Profile Scraper

**One 小红书 user in, one complete JSON profile out — nickname, red ID, bio, follower counts, profession, college, IP location. No login, no cookie.**

Profile pages are one of the parts of Xiaohongshu that render without an account. Paste any profile URL (or bare 24-hex user ID) and get the user's public profile through Xiaohongshu's own web rendering, with built-in residential routing.

### What you get per user

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `userId`, `userName`, `redId` | IDs and display name (red ID is the user-chosen handle) |
| `desc` | Profile bio |
| `gender`, `ipLocation` | As displayed on the profile |
| `fansCount` / `fansCountNum` | Followers as shown (e.g. `1.8万`) and parsed to a number (18000) |
| `followsCount(Num)`, `interactionCount(Num)` | Following and total likes+collects, same twin format |
| `location`, `profession`, `college` | Profile tags where the user filled them in |
| `avatar`, `profileUrl` | Image and canonical URL |

### How to run it

Copy a profile URL from Xiaohongshu — from your browser, or in bulk from the [RedNote Search Scraper](https://apify.com/memo23/rednote-search-scraper) (every note row carries its author's `userId`) — and paste it as `userId`. That's the whole setup.

```json
{
    "userId": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5ff0e6410000000001008400"
}
```

### FAQ

**Do I really not need an account?** Correct — public profile pages render for guests. Search and comments are login-gated on Xiaohongshu; profiles are not.

**Are the Chinese counts usable in spreadsheets?** Yes — every count comes twice: as displayed (`1.8万`) and parsed (`18000`) in the `*Num` twin field.

**Can I get the user's posts too?** That's the [RedNote User Posts Scraper](https://apify.com/memo23/rednote-user-posts-scraper) — feed it the same user ID.

### 🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API (actor: `memo23/rednote-user-profile-scraper`).

**Purpose:** Returns one Xiaohongshu (RedNote / 小红书) user's public profile as a single JSON row — no login required.

**Minimal input:**

```json
{ "userId": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5ff0e6410000000001008400" }
```

**Output:** one row per run; key fields: userId, userName, redId, desc, gender, ipLocation, fansCount, fansCountNum, followsCount, followsCountNum, interactionCount, interactionCountNum, location, profession, college, avatar, profileUrl.

**Behaviors an agent should know:**

- `userId` accepts a bare 24-hex ID or a full profile URL.
- One-user-per-run by design — fan out over user IDs collected from the RedNote Search Scraper.
- Chinese display counts always ship with a numeric `*Num` twin (`1.8万` → `18000`).
- No cookie, no login. Billing: pay-per-event — see the Pricing tab on the actor page.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
