XHS-Downloader
XHS-Downloader extracts and downloads images, videos, and metadata from Xiaohongshu (RedNote/小红书) posts, profiles, and search results, with support for TUI, REST API, MCP server, and browser UserScript interfaces.
Best When
You need to batch-download or archive Xiaohongshu content locally, especially across multiple posts, profiles, or search results with deduplication.
Avoid When
You need to interact with or post to Xiaohongshu (download-only tool), or you require an account-free solution for video content (cookies needed for full quality).
Use Cases
- • Batch downloading your own published content from Xiaohongshu for archival
- • Researchers collecting post metadata and media from specific hashtags or user profiles
- • Automating content extraction workflows via REST API or MCP integration
- • Browser-based single-post downloads via UserScript without running a server
Not For
- • Platforms other than Xiaohongshu/RedNote
- • Large-scale commercial scraping (rate limiting and platform ToS apply)
- • Users who need real-time streaming or push notification of new content
