## 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

## RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Video Download

RedNote / 小红书 노트 URL 을 붙여넣으면 영상 다운로드 URL 과 전체 메타데이터
(제목, 작성자, 통계, 해시태그) 를 반환하는 Apify Actor.

URL 파싱·SSR 파싱 등 실제 해석은 Railway 에 떠 있는 `proxy_rednote` 서비스가
담당하고, 이 Actor 는 입력을 수집해 프록시의 `/web/resolve` 를 호출한 뒤
결과를 Apify Dataset 으로 정돈해 내보낸다.

### 사용법

#### Input
```json
{
  "videoUrls": [
    "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66ccc47c000000001e01a0d3?xsec_token=ABxxx",
    "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/discovery/item/66xxx",
    "https://xhslink.com/abc123"
  ]
}
````

지원 URL:

- `https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/{note_id}?xsec_token=...`
- `https://www.xiaohongshu.com/discovery/item/{note_id}`
- `https://xhslink.com/...` (단축 URL, 자동 리다이렉트)
- 순수 24자 hex `note_id`

#### Output (Dataset)

```json
{
  "id": "66ccc47c000000001e01a0d3",
  "inputUrl": "...",
  "url": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66ccc...",
  "type": "video",
  "title": "...",
  "description": "...",
  "author": {
    "userId": "...",
    "nickname": "...",
    "url": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/...",
    "avatar": "..."
  },
  "statistics": {
    "liked": 1234,
    "collected": 56,
    "comments": 7,
    "shares": 8
  },
  "hashtags": ["..."],
  "uploadedAt": 1726830000000,
  "duration": 15,
  "videoMeta": {
    "codec": "h264",
    "format": "mp4",
    "width": 720,
    "height": 1280,
    "fps": 30,
    "size_bytes": 1234567,
    "source": "video_main"
  },
  "imageList": [],
  "downloadStatus": "success",
  "downloadUrl": "https://sns-video-qc.xhscdn.com/stream/...",
  "downloadUrls": ["..."]
}
```

`downloadUrl` 에 직접 접근하면 영상 파일 `.mp4` 가 즉시 다운로드된다.
(브라우저 주소창 또는 `curl -O` 로 사용 가능)

#### downloadStatus

| 값         | 의미                                            |
|------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| `success`  | 영상 있음, `downloadUrl` 정상                  |
| `skipped`  | 순수 이미지 노트 (영상 없음), `imageList` 참조 |
| `error`    | 처리 실패 — **Dataset 에 push 되지 않음**      |

### 특징

- **로그인 / 쿠키 / 서명 전부 불필요** — 공개 노트 기준 동작
- **워터마크 없음** — XHS 원본 CDN URL 직접 제공
- **LivePhoto 지원** — 이미지 노트 안의 짧은 영상도 `downloadUrls` 에 포함
- **배치 처리** — 동시 5개, 전체 5분 deadline
- **과금 공정성** — 실패 건은 Dataset 제외

### 환경변수

| 이름              | 필수 | 기본값                                        | 설명                            |
|-------------------|------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| `RNOTE_PROXY_URL` | ⬜   | `https://proxyrednote-production.up.railway.app` | proxy\_rednote 엔드포인트        |

### 제한사항

- `xsec_token` 이 만료된 URL 은 실패할 수 있음 → 최신 공유 URL 사용 권장
- 비공개 / 삭제된 / 지역 제한 노트는 `error` 로 분류, Dataset 에 미포함
- 대량 자동 스크래핑은 이 Actor 의 설계 목표가 아님 (URL 입력 기반 resolver)

### 소스 레이아웃
