Xiaohongshu (RedNote) Notes Scraper

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: trending in What to scrape. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Get public Xiaohongshu (RedNote, 小红书) notes as clean data rows: title, text, hashtags, images, video, likes, saves, comments, shares, author and date. Start from note links, author profiles or the trending Explore feed.

• Note links — full notes from your links: text, hashtags, all images, video link, counters, author, dates.
• Author profiles — the notes a profile shows to visitors (about 30 latest per profile). Xiaohongshu hides note text and note IDs on profiles from visitors, so these rows are short "cards": title, cover, likes, author, date.
• Trending feed — notes from the Explore feed or one of its channels (fashion, food, travel and more). Each note is opened and saved in full.

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/xiaohongshu-scraper. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/xiaohongshu-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "trending",
    "channel": "recommend"
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~xiaohongshu-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "trending", "channel": "recommend"}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/xiaohongshu-scraper")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"mode": "trending", "channel": "recommend"}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
