Is it legal to scrape Xiaohongshu or RedNote post details?

Xiaohongshu content can be visible in a browser and still be governed by platform terms, copyright, privacy law, database restrictions, and local compliance rules. Use modest pacing, avoid bypassing access controls, do not collect sensitive personal data, and get legal review before using exported rows for advertising, resale, enrichment, or AI training.

Where does my Xiaohongshu post data go?

The template writes rednote-post-details-scraper.csv to the save folder configured in Structured Export. The stock workflow runs in the local desktop app and does not upload the CSV to UScraper infrastructure or a third-party cloud unless you add separate upload, sync, or integration blocks.

Do I need a Xiaohongshu account to run this post scraper?

The workflow opens post detail URLs in your browser session and does not include an account, password, API key, or proxy. Some RedNote pages require login, CAPTCHA, verification, or a current xsec_token before post details and comments render.

What file format and columns does the export use?

Output is CSV. Columns include page_url, image, title, user_name, personal_file_link, likes_amount, favorite_amounts, comment_amount, comments_replies, comment_author, comment_author_location, datetime, comment, comment_like_count, comment_reply_count, and replies.

How many Xiaohongshu comments or replies can I export?

The template clicks visible show more controls, scrolls the comment area in measured passes, and exports up to the visible rows it can normalize. Practical scale depends on account state, post availability, rate limits, comment loading, layout changes, and how politely you pace URL batches.

Is this Xiaohongshu post scraper template free?

Yes, the hosted JSON template is free to download and import. UScraper is a local desktop app with its own licensing, so review current product pricing if you need longer production runs, support, or team workflows.

Extract Xiaohongshu post details and comments

Use this template when a search export, influencer shortlist, or manual review has already produced specific Xiaohongshu post detail URLs. It focuses on the detail page rather than keyword discovery, so the output includes post-level context and per-comment rows.

Who this is for

RedNote post scraper use cases

Brand and social teams

Post analysis

Favorable to scraping

Export comments and engagement details from campaign posts, product mentions, competitor posts, or creator collaborations before writing a social listening report.

Influencer researchers

Creator review

Favorable to scraping

Keep author names, profile links, visible likes, favorites, and comment themes beside each post URL so shortlisted RedNote creators can be qualified in a spreadsheet.

Market analysts

Context building

Nuanced outcome

Pair detail-page rows with the Xiaohongshu Scraper for RedNote Posts, Xiaohongshu Search Result Scraper by Keyword, and Xiaohongshu Search Results Scraper by URL when a project needs discovery plus comment-level review.

Export detail pages, not only feeds

Capture page URL, title, image list, author name, profile link, likes, favorites, and comment count from post detail pages.

Run a URL batch

Add several current post URLs to navigate.urls[]; Loop Continue advances through the list while Structured Export appends rows.

Keep comment rows analyzable

Export comment author, location, date text, comment body, like count, reply count, and visible replies into fixed CSV columns.

Avoid silent empty files

Diagnostic rows flag redirects, unavailable posts, login prompts, CAPTCHA, or generic app pages so the batch can be reviewed.

How to use

Run the Xiaohongshu post scraper workflow

Download and import

Download the hosted Xiaohongshu post details template, import it into UScraper, and open the workflow graph.

Add current post URLs

Replace the sample Navigate URL with one or more live Xiaohongshu post detail URLs. Avoid stale copied URLs when the platform has expired the token or redirected the page.

Check browser access

Open one post manually if RedNote asks for login, CAPTCHA, phone verification, language selection, or another access prompt before details render.

Run the extraction loop

UScraper navigates, waits for the page shell, clicks visible show-more controls, scrolls the comment area, creates hidden .uscraper-xhs-row rows, and waits for them before export.

Open the output

Review rednote-post-details-scraper.csv, check diagnostic rows, and spot-check several post URLs before using the file for reporting or enrichment.

CSV columns for Xiaohongshu post data

The export is built for reviewable analysis rather than a generic screenshot archive. Each normal row represents one visible comment tied back to the post metadata; when comments are not visible, the workflow can still append a post-level or diagnostic row.
