RedNote (Xiaohongshu) Product & E-commerce Data API

RedNote (Xiaohongshu) is no longer just a discovery community — it's a closed-loop commerce platform. Product details, ratings, and buyer reviews are key data for e-commerce teams doing product selection, pricing, and reputation analysis. The Rnote API product endpoints let you fetch product details and reviews in bulk by SKU, so your decisions rest on data.

Typical uses for product data

• Product selection — Compare price, sales signals, and ratings across similar products to pick winners.
• Reputation analysis — Bulk-pull buyer reviews to extract praise points and complaint traps, improving product pages and after-sales.
• Competitor pricing — Track competitor prices and review changes to adjust your pricing dynamically.
• Affiliate creator evaluation — Combine creator data with product performance to assess selling power.

The endpoints

Python example

import requests

API_BASE = "https://rnote.dev/api/v2/crawler"
HEADERS = {"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}

# Product detail
detail = requests.get(
    f"{API_BASE}/product/detail",
    params={"sku_id": "669ddd44e05f3700011067ed"},
    headers=HEADERS,
).json()

# Buyer reviews (paginated, page starts at 0)
reviews = requests.get(
    f"{API_BASE}/product/reviews",
    params={"sku_id": "669ddd44e05f3700011067ed", "page": 0, "page_size": 12},
    headers=HEADERS,
).json()

Get SKU IDs from the search/products results.

A practical workflow

1. Use search/products to get SKUs by category keyword.
2. Batch-call product/detail for price and basics.
3. Call product/reviews to extract buyer reviews for sentiment/keyword analysis.
4. Roll up into a selection/competitor report. Only successful requests are billed, so validate on a small batch first, then scale.

FAQ

Q: Can I pull reviews "with photos only" or sorted? A: product/reviews supports sort strategies and a "photos only" filter to focus on high-quality reviews — see the docs.
