How Travel & Hospitality Brands Use RedNote Data

Xiaohongshu Data Travel Industry Use Case

More and more people open RedNote (Xiaohongshu) first when deciding "where to go." Destination guides, off-the-beaten-path routes, homestay reviews, flight-and-hotel dupes — travel and hospitality recommendations largely live here. For destinations, hotels, homestays, and OTAs, RedNote data is a first-hand signal for understanding travel trends and content marketing. Here's how to use the Rnote API for travel.

What travel / hospitality teams can do with data

  • Destination trends — Which cities and hidden gems are heating up? What's the off-vs-peak content rhythm?
  • Guide ideation — Study the format and selling points of a destination's top notes to guide your own content.
  • Homestay/hotel reputation — Monitor comments on relevant notes to surface real experiences and complaints.
  • Creator partnerships — Vet travel-niche creators and assess the real engagement of their guide posts.

Endpoints used

Goal Endpoint
Destination trends / guides keyword search search/notes, topic tracking topic/feed
Reputation monitoring comment data note/comments
Creator vetting creator analytics user/info user/posted
Media archiving watermark-free image/video note/image note/video

A practical example (Python)

import requests

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

# Monitor top "Dali travel" guides, archive covers, mine comments for ideas
notes = requests.get(f"{API}/search/notes",
                     params={"keyword": "Dali travel guide", "sort_type": "popularity_descending"},
                     headers=H).json()

Tips

  • Follow the seasons — Travel is highly seasonal; monitor destination heat 1–2 months ahead to catch the content window.
  • Only successful requests are billed, ideal for long-running monitoring across multiple destinations.

Get started

Make destination trends and guide ideation data-driven. Sign up free for an API key, read the API docs and pricing, or start with the keyword search endpoint to see what's available.
