FAQ

Does Xiaohongshu (RedNote) have an official data API?

Xiaohongshu (RedNote) offers no self-serve API for notes or comments; its official open platform mainly serves merchants and partners. Qovia turns public Xiaohongshu notes, comments, users and search into one REST API you call with an API key.

What Xiaohongshu (RedNote) data can I get?

Note details (title, text, like/comment/save/share counts, topics, publish time, IP location, images and video), note comments (default or newest first), comment replies, user profiles, a user's notes, and keyword search over notes. Pugongying creator data for brand deals is on the Xiaohongshu Pugongying page.

Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or cookies?

No. All you need is a Qovia API key: no accounts, cookies, proxies or request signing to maintain.

How is it billed?

Prepaid and per call: only successful calls that return data are charged, and empty results, errors and timeouts are not. Every response says what it cost (meta.charged_usd). Each endpoint's price is in the API reference.

Can I use it from Claude, Cursor or other AI tools?

Yes. Qovia is also an MCP server (https://api.qovia.ai/mcp): add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with your API key and the AI finds the endpoint, pulls the data and summarises it.

What should I keep in mind when using the data?

Qovia provides a data API service and claims no ownership of the underlying content. Use the data under applicable law and Xiaohongshu's platform rules; see our terms of service.
