--- title: "Monitor Xiaohongshu (RedNote) Accounts Daily · SocialToAI" canonical: https://socialtoai.com/monitors/xiaohongshu/ updated: 2026-11-06 --- # Monitor Xiaohongshu (RedNote) accounts every day To be told when a Xiaohongshu account posts, run it once, then tell your AI “every morning”. A run is 12 credits, at most 372 credits a month ($1.24). There is no QR code or cookie, and it uses no account of yours. An account's notes link to its profile page, because Xiaohongshu opens a single note only with a token that its account lists do not give. - Page: https://socialtoai.com/monitors/xiaohongshu/ - Last updated: 2026-11-06 > Every morning, check this Xiaohongshu account and email me what it posted that is new: . [Watch these accounts every day](https://socialtoai.com/tools/account-watch.md) · [Or just say it to your AI](https://socialtoai.com/docs/schedules.md#watch) · No account of yours needed, your accounts stay out of it · failed runs are free ## First, run it once See what comes back before you make anything daily. Ask your AI, or send the request. It costs 12 credits: [User Posts](https://socialtoai.com/xiaohongshu-user-posts-api.md). **Ask your AI** ``` Show me what this Xiaohongshu account posted lately: . ``` **cURL** ``` curl https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/user_posts \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY" \ -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "platform": "xiaohongshu", "id": "63bed214000000002702b862" }' ``` **A recorded answer (names and text removed)** ``` { "request_id": "req_00000000-0000-4000-8000-000000000001", "schema_version": "v1", "fetched_at": "2026-10-12T19:13:48.000Z", "action": "user_posts", "platform": "xiaohongshu", "status": "ok", "items": [ { "platform": "xiaohongshu", "id": "…", "ref": "…", "approx": [], "type": "content", "url": null, "format": "video", "title": "…", "text": "…", "published_at": "2026-10-12T01:00:27.000Z", "author": { "id": "…", "username": null, "name": "…", "verified": null, "followers": null }, "metrics": { "likes": 8, "comments": 0, "shares": 0, "collects": 2, "views": null, "reposts": null }, "images": ["https://example.com/…"], "hashtags": null, "is_pinned": false } ], "unavailable": ["url", "author.username", "author.verified", "author.followers", "metrics.views", "metrics.reposts", "hashtags"], "page": { "has_more": true, "cursor": "cur_…", "cursor_expires_at": "2026-10-12T19:43:48.000Z" }, "warnings": [], "applied_params": { "id": "63bed214000000002702b862" }, "cost_credits": 12, "billing": { "cost_credits": 12, "balance_credits": 88, "today_spend_credits": 12, "daily_limit_credits": null, "daily_remaining_credits": null, "display": "This call: 12 credits (≈ $0.04).

Your AI first shows what will run, when, about what a run costs and at most what a month costs, and where new items go. It charges nothing for that, and makes the watch only after you agree. **Say this** ``` Every morning, check this Xiaohongshu account and email me what it posted that is new: . ``` **Or this** ``` Every morning, search Xiaohongshu for “freeze-dried coffee” and post the new notes to this WeCom group:
. ``` It works without an AI too: run the tool or the call on the website, then press the daily button. Everything else about a watch is in [Schedules](https://socialtoai.com/docs/schedules.md). ## What a link in an alert opens | You watch | Each item links to | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | An account's notes | The author's profile page, and the alert says so | Measured 2026-11-05: `/explore/` without a token is Xiaohongshu's 404 page, and an account's list gives no token. The profile opens. | | A keyword | The note itself | A search result comes with an address that opens. | ## At most what it costs | What you watch | A run | A month, daily | A month, weekly | A daily month at the first pack | The free credits cover | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | One account's new notes | 12 | 372 | 60 | about $1.24 | 8 runs | | [One account, with the Account snapshot tool (which posts did better than usual)](https://socialtoai.com/tools/account-watch.md) | 30 | 930 | 150 | about $3.10 | 3 runs | | One keyword | 12 | 372 | 60 | about $1.24 | 8 runs | ## Where new items go Pick one or several when you make the watch. What it can send is the same on every platform. | Where | How to set it | What arrives | | --- | --- | --- | | Email | On by default for a watch made in your AI or in the console. With a key, send `email_new_items: true`. | How many are new, with their links. | | Feishu / Lark | Add a custom bot to the group and give its address to your AI or to `push_url`. We post a test message first. | The count, the first 5 links, what the run cost, a link to the console. No post text. | | WeCom | The same, with a group bot's address. | The same. | | Slack | The same, with an Incoming Webhooks address. | The same. | | RSS or JSON Feed | Every watch has one private address, on the Tasks page (https://socialtoai.com/console/tasks/). Reading it is free. | Links and dates. For 24 hours after a run also the title and the start of the text. Anyone with the address can read it. | | Webhook | Add an endpoint in the console's settings. See [Webhooks](https://socialtoai.com/docs/webhooks.md). | `schedule_run.finished` after each run, and `schedule.alert` when its main number moves. Signed. | | Your AI, when you ask | Ask “what's new?”. Nothing to set. | What your watches found and you have not seen, for free. | ## What to know first - **The first run is only the starting point.** It notes what is there and sends nothing new, and it is charged like any run. New items start with the second run. - **Daily or weekly, not real time.** It runs at the time you choose, in your time zone. - **A run with nothing new still costs a run:** it read the page. A failed run costs nothing. - **It stays under its limits.** One run may cost at most what you set. The month's most is that limit times 31 for a daily watch and 5 for a weekly one; a run past either is skipped, free. - **One free, then 20.** A free account holds 1 watch, run from its free credits. When they no longer cover a run it pauses, charges nothing and emails you; any purchase starts it again. An account that has bought credits holds 20. - **One page a run.** It reads the account's latest page, usually 20 notes, and its numbers carry no view count: Xiaohongshu does not give one. ## FAQ ### Do I need to scan a QR code or copy a cookie? No. You never sign in to Xiaohongshu; you sign in to SocialToAI with a code sent to your email. ### Why does an alert link to the profile and not the note? Xiaohongshu opens a single note only with a token, which its account lists do not give. A note found by keyword links to the note itself. ### Does it use my account on the platform? No. No account of yours needed, your accounts stay out of it. You need one SocialToAI account, made with an email. ### Can I try it for free? Yes. 100 free credits on sign-up, no card. A free account holds 1 watch, and at 12 credits a run the free credits cover 8 runs. ### Is it real time? No. It runs daily or weekly at the time you choose. ### Is a run charged when nothing is new? Yes: it read the page, so it costs a run. A failed run costs nothing, and a run over your limit is skipped, free. - [Is reading Xiaohongshu a risk to my account?](https://socialtoai.com/how-to/xiaohongshu-collection-risk.md): What falls on an account, and what does not. - [Account snapshot](https://socialtoai.com/tools/account-watch.md): The tool page with the daily button. - [Xiaohongshu (RedNote) API](https://socialtoai.com/platforms/xiaohongshu.md): Every call on Xiaohongshu and its credits. - [Daily watch, every job](https://socialtoai.com/monitors.md): What else can be watched.
