# Xiaohongshu Post API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/xiaohongshu/post)

> Returns one Xiaohongshu note from its URL or note id: full body, images or video, creator, likes, comments, saves, shares and the IP province. post.ext.text_truncated is false. Search rows are only a summary. Xiaohongshu does not publish view counts, so post.engagement.views is null. The video link in post.content.media_urls downloads with no extra headers. Xiaohongshu's image servers refuse a download whose User-Agent does not start with Mozilla/5.0, so send a browser User-Agent when you fetch the images.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/xiaohongshu/post` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
