# How do I get Xiaohongshu data into n8n? (2026)

Two ways. For a fixed schedule, an HTTP Request node calls DataXAPI's note search, at $0.0200 a page. To let an AI decide what to read, an MCP Client Tool node connects to https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp. 5 keywords searched once a day come to $3 a month, with no Xiaohongshu account and no cookie. DataXAPI reads Xiaohongshu (RedNote) with 21 endpoints, from $0.0200 a call; a failed call is not charged.

## Fastest: import the template

Download [the workflow file](/templates/n8n-xiaohongshu-search.json), and in n8n choose Import from File on a new workflow. Replace `query` in the HTTP Request node with your keyword, then create a Bearer Auth credential holding your key alone. It runs every day at 9 and gives one item per note. The file follows n8n's documents as read on the date below; we have not run it in your version.

## On a schedule: HTTP Request

1. Schedule Trigger: when to run.

2. HTTP Request: method GET, URL `https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/xiaohongshu/notes/search`. Turn on Send Query Parameters with `query` set to the keyword, and `sort` to `latest` or `popular` if you like. Under Authentication choose the generic credential type, then Bearer Auth, and enter your key alone as the token.

3. Split Out: Field to Split Out is `data.items`. Each item has `id`, `url`, `title`, `text`, `published_at` and `metrics` with likes, comments, shares and favorites.

4. For comments, another HTTP Request: `https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/xiaohongshu/notes/comments/list` with `url` set to `{{ $json.url }}`, at $0.0200 a page. To go on to a next page, send `page.next_cursor` as `cursor`; each page is one call, so set a limit on the pages.

## Letting an AI choose: MCP Client Tool

Attach an MCP Client Tool node to an AI Agent node. Endpoint is `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp`, Server Transport is HTTP Streamable, Authentication is Bearer Auth, and the token is your key alone. Then ask from a chat trigger: “Use DataXAPI to find this week's top Xiaohongshu notes on camping.” You also pay for the model.

## What it comes to

5 keywords once a day are 150 calls at $0.0200, $3. The first page of comments on 10 notes a day adds 300 calls at $0.0200, $6, so $9. A failed call is not charged. Give this key a daily limit in the console. These steps follow n8n's documents as read on the date below; its screens may differ in your version.
