| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| type | video |
| lang | zh-Hans |
| published_at | 2026-10-08 12:01 UTC |
| metrics.likes | 1,328 |
| metrics.comments | 10 |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | text | give exactly one of `id`, `url` | Note ID, 24 hexadecimal characters. With only a link or a share text, give it as url. Example: `6ac7701f000000001800508c`. |
| `url` | text | give exactly one of `id`, `url` | Link to the note, pasted as it is: the https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/… address from the browser, the https://www.xiaohongshu.com/discovery/item/… link the website shares (query parameters such as xsec_token are fine), a whole share text with such a link in it, or the xhslink.com short link the app copies (alone or in its share text). A short link is opened once to see which note it leads to; where it cannot be, paste the note's full link or its ID.

## Returned fields

`data.item` is one post object. Stable: fields are only ever added.

Three views: `compact` (the most used fields, long text cut short), `standard` (the default: every standard field) and `full` (adds `ext`, the platform's own fields). A field is in the view named and in every larger one.

Typical size of one item: `compact` 891 B, `standard` 1.3 KB, `full` 1.8 KB (measured on the response recorded 2026-11-06 16:42 UTC).

## Paging

One object per call: there is nothing to page.

## When you are charged

| Case | Charged |
| --- | --- |
| A result with data | $0.0200, once per call |
| Invalid parameters, a failure or a timeout | not charged |
| The most one call can cost | $0.0200 (send `X-Max-Price` to refuse anything above your own limit) |

Prices as read 2026-11-06 17:50 UTC, under price book 10, in effect since 2026-11-06 17:48 UTC; the Playground reads the price in force before a run.

## If the object does not exist

The answer is 404 `not_found`. `charged` and `amount` in the body say what this one cost. `reason` says which: `not_found` (it does not exist) or `private_or_deleted`.

## Errors

Every error has the same structure: `code`, `message`, `charged`, `retry`, `retry_after_seconds`, `param`, `docs_url`.

| HTTP | Code | Meaning | Charged | Retry |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_params` | A parameter is invalid | As the answer's charged field says | After a fix |
| 400 | `request_not_served` | This combination of parameters cannot be served at present | No | After a fix |

| 402 | `insufficient_balance` | The balance is too low | No | After a fix |
| 402 | `key_budget_exceeded` | This key's spending limit does not cover the call | No | After a fix |
| 402 | `run_budget_exceeded` | This run's amount or call limit does not cover the call | No | No |
| 403 | `account_suspended` | The account is suspended | No | No |

| 500 | `settlement_unknown` | Whether this call settled is not known; ask again with the same idempotency key, or look it up by request ID | Unknown: look the call up | With the same idempotency key |
| 500 | `internal_error` | The service failed | No | Yes |
| 502 | `upstream_failed` | No result came back this time. Retry later; if the same item keeps failing, it most likely cannot be retrieved (deleted or restricted, say) | No | Yes |
| 503 | `upstream_busy` | Busy just now; retry shortly | No | Yes |

## Use it in your AI

`dataxapi setup` gives the agents on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) the DataXAPI MCP server and the base skill. The key is read from DATAXAPI_API_KEY; none is written into a file.

MCP server: `https://api.dataxapi.com/mcp`. The entry for your client is under MCP in the request examples of this page; then ask your agent to call `xiaohongshu.videos.get`.
