## 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) Profile Scraper

Fetch one public RedNote or Xiaohongshu profile from a URL or profile ID and return account details, audience counts, verification, tags, and profile statistics.

### Input

Use either reference:

| Field | Use it when |
|---|---|
| **`profile_id_or_url`** | A public `/user/profile/<id>` URL or the account ID. |

```json
{
  "profile_id_or_url": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/61b46d790000000010008153"
}
```

You don't need a RedNote login, cookie, or session token.

### Profile record

The Actor saves one row.

| Field | Contents |
|---|---|
| **`userid`** | Account ID |
| **`nickname`**, **`red_id`**, **`desc`** | Display name, RED ID, and bio |
| **`fans`**, **`follows`** | Follower and following counts |
| **`gender`**, **`location`** | Profile attributes reported by RedNote |
| **`red_official_verified`** | Official verification flag |
| **`images`** | Avatar URL |
| **`interactions`** | Profile statistics reported as a list |
| **`tags`** | Profile tags |

```json
{
  "userid": "61b46d790000000010008153",
  "nickname": "trailmix.jpg",

  "fans": 30600,

Fields unavailable on a public profile won't be manufactured.

### Next jobs

| Actor | Use it for |
|---|---|
| [RedNote Profile Posts Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/rednote-profile-posts-scraper) | Collect the profile's public posts with pagination. |
| [RedNote Favorites Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/rednote-favorites-scraper) | Check posts RedNote exposes as public favorites — usually none are exposed. |
| [RedNote Profile Search Scraper](https://apify.com/thenetaji/rednote-profile-search-scraper) | Find profiles by keyword when you don't have an ID yet. |

### Questions

**Can I paste a profile URL instead of extracting its ID?**

Yes. The Actor extracts IDs from recognizable `/user/profile/<id>` URLs.

**Does this collect the profile's posts too?**

No. This Actor returns one profile record. Use the profile-posts Actor for the paginated post list.
