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

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)

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.

Use cases

1. Track emerging Chinese consumer-product trends before they reach Western markets.
2. Brand monitoring via cookieless trending and category feeds.
3. Cross-border e-commerce / DTC product research — spot rising categories early.
4. Build a Chinese-language lifestyle-content corpus for NLP / AI.
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.
