🔎 What this actor actually does — read this first

It loads Xiaohongshu's public /explore feed and returns the notes on it. It does not run a Xiaohongshu keyword search: measured on 2026-08-26, /search_result?keyword= returns 0 items without a login, while /explore returns ~30 real notes.

The keyword input is therefore a substring filter applied to the notes the feed already returned — not a query. Feed text is predominantly Chinese, so an English keyword will usually filter everything out. Leave it empty to get the feed as-is.

Every row carries dataSource: "xiaohongshu-explore-feed".

Overview

Extract public notes — id, title, description, author, cover image, and like count — from the Xiaohongshu public feed, with no Chinese phone verification.

Input Example

{
  "keyword": "",
  "maxNotes": 20
}

Output Example

{
  "noteId": "66a1c0f2000000001e0123ab",
  "title": "夏日护肤 5 件套",
  "description": "…",
  "noteType": "normal",
  "authorName": "…",
  "authorId": "5f2c…",
  "authorAvatarUrl": "https://sns-avatar…",
  "likesCountText": "6.3万",
  "likesCount": 63000,
  "commentsCount": null,
  "collectsCount": null,
  "coverImageUrl": "https://sns-webpic…",
  "noteUrl": "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66a1c0f2000000001e0123ab?xsec_token=…",
  "keyword": null,
  "dataSource": "xiaohongshu-explore-feed",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-27T21:00:00.000Z"
}

likesCountText is the raw Chinese-formatted string and likesCount is it parsed (万 = 10,000). A previous version ran parseInt(str.replace(/k/i,'000')) on it, which turned "6.3万" into 6 — off by four orders of magnitude. That is fixed.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
keyword	string	Optional substring filter over the feed — not a search
maxNotes	number	Max notes to return (default 20)
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy options

✅ Capabilities & Limits

Stated up front, so you do not pay a run to find out.

Built here: commentsCount and collectsCount are always null. The feed's interactInfo payload carries only liked and likedCount — the other two counters are not in it. A previous version reported a hard 0 for both, which read as "this note has zero comments" rather than "this number does not exist here".

Input / feature	Supported	Notes
Public feed notes	✅	id, title, description, author, cover, note URL
Like count	✅	raw text plus a correctly parsed integer
Keyword search	❌	requires a login; returns 0 items without one
Keyword filter over the feed	⚠️	substring match on mostly-Chinese text; an English term usually matches nothing
Comments count	❌	not in this payload — always null
Saves / collects count	❌	not in this payload — always null
Hashtags	❌	not emitted
Note media beyond the cover image	❌	cover only
Result volume	⚠️	bounded by what one feed load returns (~30), regardless of maxNotes

FAQ

Q: Can I search Xiaohongshu by keyword? A: Not without a login, and this actor does not use one. See the note at the top.

Q: Why are commentsCount and collectsCount null? A: The feed payload does not contain them. Reporting null is deliberate — the alternative is a zero that looks like a measurement.

Q: Do I need a Chinese proxy? A: No.
