Xiaohongshu Scraper

Xiaohongshu Scraper

Overview

Use this skill for 小红书笔记链接抓取和表格回填. Prefer reliable, low-frequency access patterns and preserve user intent: do not invent engagement numbers when the public page hides them.

Browser Profile

Use the dedicated Xiaohongshu browser profile and CDP endpoint when a logged-in visible browser is explicitly needed:

• CDP URL: http://127.0.0.1:9223
• user-data-dir: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Google/SocialScraperProfiles/Xiaohongshu
• launcher: ~/.agents/social-browser-profiles/launch-social-chrome.sh xhs

Do not use the default Chrome profile for Xiaohongshu scraping. Do not share this port/profile with Douyin or Weibo jobs. The Base entrypoint uses a local platform lock at /tmp/social-scraper-locks/xiaohongshu.lock; do not run two Xiaohongshu jobs at the same time from different sessions.

Workflow

1. Extract canonical URLs from raw text, Markdown links, or Base cells.
2. Run the static scraper first:

   node ~/.agents/skills/xiaohongshu-scraper/scripts/scrape-xhs.mjs --json --delay-ms 6000 < urls.txt
   

3. For Lark Base batch work, use the safe Base entrypoint instead of shell loops:

   node ~/.agents/skills/xiaohongshu-scraper/scripts/process-lark-xhs.mjs \
     --base-token <base_token> \
     --table-id <table_id> \
     --view-id <view_id> \
     --batch-size 10
   

4. If a URL returns only 小红书, 404, or 当前内容无法展示, retry with a real Chrome profile only when the user agrees:

   node ~/.agents/skills/xiaohongshu-scraper/scripts/process-lark-xhs.mjs \
     --base-token <base_token> \
     --table-id <table_id> \
     --view-id <view_id> \
     --browser-confirm \
     --chrome-user-data-dir "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Google/SocialScraperProfiles/Xiaohongshu" \
     --batch-size 3
   

5. For Lark Base updates, read the table fields first. Default runs process records whose 抓取状态 is blank, 准备抓取, or 保持抓取.
6. Write only storage fields such as 正文, 点赞数, 收藏数, 抓取时间, and confirmed terminal 抓取状态. Use lark-base for Base commands.
7. Process in very small batches. Default: 3-5 records when using a logged-in browser, 10 records only for static H5. Stop when failures cluster.

scrape-xhs.mjs --json Output

{"ok": true, "url": "...", "finalUrl": "...", "noteId": "6a35...",
 "title": "...", "desc": "...", "body": "title\ndesc",
 "noteType": "video|image", "publishedAt": 1781884007000,
 "likedCount": 198, "collectedCount": 130, "commentCount": 8,
 "imageUrls": ["https://sns-webpic-qc.xhscdn.com/..."]}

imageUrls takes the largest available rendition per image (H5_DTL > H5_PRV). The original is not reachable — stripping the processing parameters returns 403, and every downloadable rendition carries the Xiaohongshu watermark plus whatever caption the creator burned in. Treat these images as internal reference only; they are not publishable assets.

Counts are null when the page omits them, unless --missing-count-as-zero is passed. A null count means "not reported", not zero.

Do not wrap scrape-xhs.mjs --browser in a shell loop for Base work. It is a lower-level scraper; use process-lark-xhs.mjs so status filtering, failure fuses, and Base writes stay consistent.

Lark Status Rules

Use 抓取状态 as the control plane:

• blank/null: treat as 准备抓取.
• 准备抓取: new or newly appended row, eligible for first scraping. Fetch 正文, 点赞数, 收藏数, and 抓取时间.
• 保持抓取: first scrape succeeded and data has been written; refresh only 点赞数, 收藏数, and 抓取时间. Do not fetch or overwrite 正文 by default.
• 抓取异常: confirmed inaccessible, app-only, login-wall, 404, repeated no-note-state, or platform warning risk. Do not retry automatically.
• 停止抓取: manual or rule-based stop state for rows that no longer need engagement tracking.

Default runs scrape rows whose 抓取状态 is blank, 准备抓取, or 保持抓取. Treat blank as 准备抓取. When a 准备抓取 row succeeds, write the scraped body and engagement fields, then set 抓取状态 to 保持抓取. When a 保持抓取 row succeeds, update only engagement fields and 抓取时间; keep 正文 and 抓取状态 unchanged. When a row is confirmed failed after the allowed fallback path, set 抓取状态 to 抓取异常, write 抓取时间, and preserve existing useful values.

Comment Status Rules

Use 评论状态 as a separate operations queue. Keep it blank by default. The scraper may set 准备评论 only when a configured engagement threshold is reached or the user explicitly asks to queue rows for manual commenting; it must not publish Xiaohongshu comments automatically.

• blank/null: default, not yet selected for commenting.
• 准备评论: selected by threshold or manual review and waiting for human commenting on Xiaohongshu.
• 取消评论: manually decided not to comment.
• 评论成功: human comment has been posted.
• 评论失败: a comment attempt failed and is not currently being retried.

For now, Xiaohongshu commenting is all manual. The skill can help surface candidates by writing 评论状态=准备评论, but comment publishing and final status changes are handled by the user. 准备评论 on Xiaohongshu means "ready for a human to comment", not "auto-comment now".

Video Notes

When the row is marked 视频 or the note state contains video streams:

1. Download the video from the note's resolved stream URL when available, or use the local video-download skill if the stream URL is not directly exposed.
2. Extract representative frames with ffmpeg:

   ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel error -i video.mp4 -vf "fps=1/2,scale=720:-1" frames/frame_%03d.jpg
   

3. If MiniMax is configured, analyze the clearest frames with mmx vision describe:

   mmx vision describe --region global --image frames/frame_001.jpg --prompt "请提取这帧里的字幕、画面主体和对理解小红书视频正文有用的信息。"
   

4. Combine title, original desc, visible captions, and visual summaries into 正文. Clearly mark inferred video content as 【视频内容解析】.

MiniMax requires local authentication (MINIMAX_API_KEY or mmx auth login). If unavailable, fall back to manual frame review and say so. Video rows are higher risk and slower; process fewer per batch.

Output Rules

• 正文: title + newline + desc when both exist. Write this only for 准备抓取 rows unless the user explicitly requests body reprocessing.
• For videos, append a concise 【视频内容解析】 section when frame/video evidence is available.
• 点赞数 / 收藏数: refresh for both 准备抓取 and 保持抓取 rows. Leave unavailable values unchanged/null unless the user explicitly asks to treat hidden values as 0.
• 抓取时间: use the user's current local datetime rounded to minutes, e.g. YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:00, when the Base field supports time.
• 抓取状态: write 保持抓取 only after a successful 准备抓取 first scrape. Keep 保持抓取 unchanged during engagement refresh. Write 抓取异常 only after an access failure is confirmed and no automatic retry should happen. Never write 停止抓取 automatically unless a separate stop-tracking rule is explicitly enabled.
• 评论状态: blank by default; write 准备评论 only when an engagement threshold or explicit user instruction selects the row for commenting. Xiaohongshu 准备评论 means a human should comment.
• Preserve failed rows and report why they failed; do not overwrite useful existing values with blanks.

Safety And Access

• Do not bypass CAPTCHAs, paywalls, private content, account restrictions, or platform access controls.
• Do not export or print cookies, tokens, localStorage, QR codes, or profile secrets.
• Default to non-logged-in static/H5 scraping. Use the user's own logged-in Chrome profile only as a fallback after consent. Keep rate low and human-paced.
• Do not repeatedly test rows already confirmed as inaccessible. Mark them 抓取异常.
• Browser mode must reuse one browser session for a batch; do not launch and close Chrome for each URL.
• If using a visible CDP browser, use port 9223 and the Xiaohongshu profile only.
• Stop immediately after a platform warning or CAPTCHA/login-risk signal.
• Do not rotate IPs or use third-party proxies unless the user explicitly provides a compliant, owned proxy and the task is permitted.
