Xiaohongshu API

Get Xiaohongshu data as clean JSON with one key: 6 endpoints, 2 to 3 credits per call, the same response shape as every other platform.

What you get#

Onekey exposes Xiaohongshu as 6 endpoints behind one API key: 2 endpoints return one record (data is an object) and 4 endpoints return a list (data is an array). Every answer uses the same envelope (success, data, metadata, error), the cost is reported in metadata.credits_charged, and fields are mapped onto the unified schema so the code you write for Xiaohongshu also works for the rest of the social networks category.

A * marks a required parameter. Each endpoint name links to its reference page with the full parameter table, caching window and a recorded response.

Make a request#

This calls xiaohongshu.post (2 credits, beta). Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key; sign up, no card. 1,000 free credits cover the open-platform endpoints. Hard-to-reach platforms (X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and others marked on their page) need a verified email and a purchased pack.

curl "https://api.onekey.dev/v1/xiaohongshu/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.xiaohongshu.com%2Fexplore%2F64a1b2c3d4e5f60012345678" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Fields you get back#

These unified fields come back from Xiaohongshu, with the same names as on every other platform. The count is how many of its 6 mapped endpoints return the field; a field the source lacks is null, never missing. 4 platform-specific fields (ext.<name>) come on top, documented on each endpoint page.
