RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Scraper — Trending, Category Feeds & Notes

Free evaluation: the default returns 25 posts so you can check schema and quality cheaply. Raise limit for full runs — billed per result at the price shown above.

Pull RedNote (Xiaohongshu, 小红书) trending notes, category discovery feeds, and full note detail as clean JSON — without a login or session cookie. Western brand and sourcing teams use it to read China's earliest publicly observable consumer-demand signal: on RedNote, nearly every viral note is a product review or buying guide, surfacing weeks before Tmall or JD sales rankings. Trending, category-channel (fashion / food / cosmetics / travel and more) and note-detail modes run cookieless; precise keyword and hashtag search is supported but login-gated — supply an optional cookie to unlock it. No Mandarin-speaking analyst in Shanghai required.

Modes (6)

Mode	What it does	Cookie?
trending	Homepage discovery feed, or a category channel (fashion / food / cosmetics / travel / gaming / fitness / movie / home / love / career / video / recommend)	No — cookieless
note_detail	Full body text + top comments for a note URL or ID	No — cookieless
user_posts	All posts by a specific user	No — cookieless
hashtag	Posts under a hashtag / topic page	Login-gated (cookie recommended)
keyword_search	Precise keyword search (Chinese or English terms)	Login-gated — needs a cookie for true filtered search
topic_probe	Diagnostic helper for topic coverage	No

The standout differentiators are the cookieless category-discovery feeds and cookieless note_detail — most RedNote scrapers focus on login-gated keyword search, which RedNote restricts. Without a cookie you get the category / explore feed for a topic; with an optional cookie you also get precise keyword and hashtag search.

5. Competitor and KOL discovery via user_posts and note_detail.

FAQ

Does this RedNote scraper need a login or cookie? No — trending, category feeds, note_detail and user_posts run cookieless (an anonymous session is acquired automatically; a residential proxy is required). Only precise keyword and hashtag search are login-gated; supply an optional cookie to unlock them.

Can it do keyword search on Xiaohongshu? Partially. Keyword search is login-gated by RedNote; without a cookie you get the category / explore feed for that topic, not a precise filtered search. With a cookie, full keyword search works.

Is scraping Xiaohongshu / RedNote legal? It pulls only publicly visible content reachable by any logged-out visitor; it does not bypass login walls or private profiles. Buyers are responsible for compliance with the site's Terms of Service and applicable law.

What data fields are returned per note? post_id, author, title, body, images, hashtags, likes / comments / shares, and posted-at timestamp.

Do I need to read Chinese? No — fields are structured and English-labeled. Chinese keywords give the best native results; English fallbacks work too.
