Rednote (国际版小红书)

Mode: 🔐 Browser · Domain: www.rednote.com (cookie root .rednote.com)

Rednote is the international mirror of Xiaohongshu. Logged-in users outside mainland China are redirected from www.xiaohongshu.com to www.rednote.com, where the codebase is largely the same but hostnames and cookie root differ. This adapter exists so those users have working CLI commands without juggling the mainland-domain xiaohongshu adapter. See issue #1136 for the host-by-host comparison.

Commands

Command	Description
opencli rednote search	Search notes by keyword (returns title, author, likes, URL, author URL)
opencli rednote note	Read full note content (title, author, description, likes, collects, comments, tags)
opencli rednote comments	Read comments from a note (--with-replies for nested 楼中楼 replies)
opencli rednote user	Get public notes from a user profile
opencli rednote feed	Home feed (reads the hydrated Pinia store)
opencli rednote notifications	Notifications (`--type mentions
opencli rednote download	Download images and videos from a note

Usage Examples

# Search for notes
opencli rednote search travel --limit 10

# Read a note's full content (pass URL from search results to preserve xsec_token)
opencli rednote note "https://www.rednote.com/search_result/<id>?xsec_token=..."

# Read comments with nested replies (楼中楼)
opencli rednote comments "https://www.rednote.com/search_result/<id>?xsec_token=..." --with-replies --limit 20

# JSON output
opencli rednote search travel -f json

# User profile notes
opencli rednote user 5b21f6564eacab3b38f05c39 --limit 10

# Download
opencli rednote download "https://www.rednote.com/search_result/<id>?xsec_token=..."

Note: note, comments, and download require a full signed rednote.com note URL with xsec_token. Bare note IDs and xhslink.com short links are not accepted because they cannot prove the rednote host/cookie identity before navigation.

Prerequisites

• Chrome running and logged into rednote.com
• Browser Bridge extension installed

Implementation

The rednote command files are thin shims that import the DOM-extraction IIFEs and URL helpers from their clis/xiaohongshu/* counterparts and call cli() with the rednote host triple. There is no duplicate copy of selectors, regexes, or extraction logic.

Layer	xiaohongshu	rednote
Web host	www.xiaohongshu.com	www.rednote.com
API host	edith.xiaohongshu.com	webapi.rednote.com
Security/signing host	fe-static.xhscdn.com	as.rednote.com
Cookie root	.xiaohongshu.com	.rednote.com
Search login gate	Inline 登录后查看搜索结果 text	Full-screen login modal (plus the inline text as a fallback)

rednote feed and rednote notifications cannot share the xiaohongshu intercept pipeline. rednote's feed.feeds is populated from SSR and the field names are camelCase (noteCard.displayTitle, interactInfo.likedCount) rather than xhs's snake_case API shape, so the xhs tap captures nothing. notification.notificationMap[<type>].messageList is filled by the in-page getNotification() action without firing a network request the tap can match. Both rednote commands therefore read the hydrated Pinia store in func mode, accepting both casing conventions when extracting fields. Creator-center commands (publish, creator-*) have no rednote counterpart and stay xiaohongshu-only.
