Read a Xiaohongshu post with an AI agent
Turn a Xiaohongshu / RedNote link into text an AI agent can read: caption, tags, every image described, on-screen text, and a transcript for video notes. No login, no cookies.
Why this one is hard
yt-dlp's XiaoHongShuIE reads note.video.media.stream, so it only handles video notes — and image notes are the majority of Xiaohongshu. Those need the note payload parsed out of the page directly. Xiaohongshu also serves a different page depending on user agent: a mobile UA gets a 202KB app-download shell, desktop gets the real note. And a cold request for a note is rejected outright until the session has been warmed.
What comes back
Caption, tags, every image described, on-screen text.
Plus the metadata every digest carries: title, author, platform, posted date and the source URL. Image notes and video notes. No login needed.
Use it
Paste a link like xhslink.com/o/… or xiaohongshu.com/explore/… into the console, or let an agent call it directly.
