Can Xiaohongshu's open platform read notes and comments? (2026)

Not at present. Its documentation opens one scope, basic_info (nickname, avatar, gender, region of a user who authorised your app); reading notes is listed as planned, and its API reference is authorisation and basic information only. DataXAPI reads Xiaohongshu (RedNote) with 21 endpoints, from $0.0200 a call; a failed call is not charged.

What to do if you need notes

Developers generally use a third-party data API, or write a scraper and keep it working. With DataXAPI you search notes, read a note and its comments, and list a user's notes by key, with no account or cookie of yours. Xiaohongshu may open more later: the date this was checked is below.

Endpoints

Each with its price; every page has the parameters, the fields and a recorded response.
