## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Xiaohongshu (RedNote) Profile Scraper - 小红书 Creators

Scrape any public Xiaohongshu (小红书, also called RedNote or Little Red Book) creator profile and their latest notes: followers, following, total likes and collects, note count, bio, IP location, verification, and each note's likes, collects, comments, shares, images and video. No login and no Xiaohongshu account needed.

### What you get

**One profile row per creator** (`type: "profile"`):

- User ID, Red ID (小红书号), nickname, bio, avatar and profile URL
- Followers, following, likes & collects, likes, collects and note count
- Gender, IP location (province or country) and official verification

**One row per note** (`type: "image"` or `"video"`):

- Note ID and URL, title, text preview, hashtags, publish date, pinned flag
- Likes, collects (saves), comments and shares
- Every image URL for photo notes; cover, MP4 video URL, duration and subtitle (.srt) URL for video notes

### Use cases

- **Influencer (KOL / KOC) vetting**: check follower counts, engagement and posting history before a campaign
- **Competitor tracking**: monitor what brand accounts post and which notes perform best
- **Creator databases**: build lists of Xiaohongshu creators with their stats for outreach
- **Content research**: find a creator's most-liked and most-saved notes
- **Campaign reporting**: re-run on a schedule to track follower and engagement growth

### How to use

1. Add **Xiaohongshu profiles**: profile URLs (`https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/…`), `xhslink.com` share links or user IDs
2. Set **Max notes per profile** (0 = profile details only)
3. Run the actor and export from the **Dataset** tab. The **Profiles** and **Notes** views split the two row types.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or cookies?** No.

**In what order are notes returned?** Newest first, the same order as the creator's profile page, with pinned notes at the top.

**Why is the note text cut off?** Xiaohongshu only sends a preview of the text (about 100 characters) in profile feeds. Use the Xiaohongshu Post Scraper on the note URLs to get the full text.

**Do the media links expire?** Image, video and subtitle URLs are signed by Xiaohongshu's CDN and expire after a while. Download them soon after the run if you need to keep them.

echo '{
  "profiles": [
    "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/677b9d8e0000000019003b77"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,seemuapps/xiaohongshu-profile-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
