# How to look up Xiaohongshu (RedNote) PGY creator rates and audience

2 endpoints do it: Xiaohongshu PGY creator search → Xiaohongshu PGY creator audience profile. The worked example below is 6 calls and costs $0.24 in all; a failed call is not charged.

Find creators on PGY, Xiaohongshu (RedNote)'s own marketplace for sponsored notes, by what they post about, with each one's rate for an image note and a video note on the same page; then get the audience of the ones you pick: the share by gender, age, province, city, interest and device.

## Step by step

### Step 1: Xiaohongshu PGY creator search

Search creators by terms matched against what they write about, 20 a page. Add `view=full` to see the rate for an image note (`ext.rate_image_note`) and a video note (`ext.rate_video_note`), with median reads and interactions. Each item's `id` is the PGY creator ID the next step takes; `account_id` is the Xiaohongshu user ID, for the account and note endpoints. ([Xiaohongshu PGY creator search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/pgy/creators/search/), $0.0400 / a call)

cURL

```bash
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/xiaohongshu/pgy/creators/search" \
  --data-urlencode "query=咖啡" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"
```

Python

```python
from dataxapi import DataXAPI

dx = DataXAPI()  # reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
result = dx.xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.search(query="咖啡")
print(result["data"]["items"])
```

TypeScript

```typescript
import { DataXAPI } from "@dataxapi/sdk";

const dx = new DataXAPI(); // reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
const result = await dx.xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.search({ query: "咖啡" });
console.log(result.data.items);
```

CLI

```bash
dataxapi call xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.search 'query=咖啡'
```

Recorded response: From a response recorded 2026-10-12 21:55 UTC. Names, text and IDs are examples, and so are the links: none is the recorded one (the page shows no one's personal data); the figures are as recorded. Long lists are cut. The request ID, cursor and balance are made up.

}
```

### Step 2: Xiaohongshu PGY creator audience profile

Put the PGY creator ID into `id` to get the audience: `gender`, `age`, `province`, `city`, `interest` and `device`, each segment with its `share`, and `measured_at`, the day the figures are of.

  --data-urlencode "id=5c0017ef6b58b740c92463fb" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY"
```

Python

```python
from dataxapi import DataXAPI

dx = DataXAPI()  # reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
result = dx.xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.audience.get(id="5c0017ef6b58b740c92463fb")
print(result["data"]["item"])
```

import { DataXAPI } from "@dataxapi/sdk";

const dx = new DataXAPI(); // reads DATAXAPI_API_KEY
const result = await dx.xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.audience.get({ id: "5c0017ef6b58b740c92463fb" });
console.log(result.data.item);

## What the example costs

One page of PGY creators (20, with their rates), then the audience of 5 of them

| Endpoint | Calls | Price | Subtotal |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Xiaohongshu PGY creator search](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/pgy/creators/search/) | 1 | $0.0400 | $0.0400 |
| [Xiaohongshu PGY creator audience profile](https://dataxapi.com/apis/xiaohongshu/pgy/creators/audience/get/) | 5 | $0.0400 | $0.20 |
| Total | 6 |  | $0.24 |

Prices are the prices in force when this page was built. A failed call, and an object that does not exist, cost nothing.

## In your AI (MCP)

Connect DataXAPI to your AI client once. Then say what you want; the agent finds these endpoints, checks the price and calls them on your balance.

Say: Search Xiaohongshu's PGY for creators who post about 咖啡 (coffee), list each one's image-note and video-note rates, then get the audience of the 5 with the lowest rates.

What the agent sends to the call tool: 

```json
{
  "capability": "xiaohongshu.pgy.creators.search",
  "query": "咖啡",
  "idempotency_key": "<a new UUID>"
}
```

## Good to know

- A PGY creator ID is 24 hexadecimal characters and is not the Xiaohongshu handle; every other PGY endpoint takes it.
- For terms no creator matches, the platform still returns loosely related creators rather than nothing, so check their `categories` first. A page holds 20; a `page.next_cursor` is good for an hour.
- The audience gives shares only, not the count in each segment (`count`); city tier, consumer groups and purchase breakdowns are not given by the platform. An audience that cannot be found is not charged.
