On the free Apify plan you get 2 free trial runs of this Actor with your own input, up to 10 results each, and nothing is charged; after that, runs return a stored sample dataset (a real result of the prefilled input). Use any paid Apify plan for full runs.


The run-start fee is charged once per run, when the first request succeeds, even if that request returns nothing and the run ends with few or no items. It is not charged when the run fails from the start or rejects the IDs (for example, when every note or creator ID you give is invalid), or when the spending limit cannot cover it. Items are charged only when they are actually returned. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached.
FAQ
Xiaohongshu API questions
Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or cookies?
No. No login, cookies, proxies or Chinese-language skills are needed.
Is it legal, and does it collect personal data?
The Actor only returns publicly visible information. That includes the public profile of users who appear in the results (user ID, RED ID, avatar, IP location, gender and verification, as published on the platform). Private messages and anything not publicly visible are never collected. Bios are returned as published, including any business contact info the creator put there. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Xiaohongshu's terms.
How fresh is the data?
The data is collected when you start a run, so counts such as likes and followers reflect that moment. Schedule runs if you want to track changes over time.
Why is IP location or another field empty?
The platform does not return every field for every item. In those cases the field is `null` (or `[]` for list fields): that's the platform's data, not a failed run. See the list under Tips and limits.
How many results can I get?
Up to 5,000 items per run with `maxResults`.
Why is a note detail priced higher than a search result?
A detail needs its own lookup per note, while list pages return many notes at once.
