Xiaohongshu User Profile

Xiaohongshu — User Profile & Notes

user_id → profile info (nickname, followers, bio, tags) + published notes list

Language

All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.

Objective

Navigate to a Xiaohongshu user profile page and extract the user's basic information, social stats, and their published notes list.

Prerequisites

• Browser opened to https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/{user_id}
• User is logged in (avatar or username visible in the left sidebar)

Pre-execution Checks

1. Tool Readiness

If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.

Invoke browser-act via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.

2. Login Verification

If login status for Xiaohongshu has been confirmed in the current session → skip this step.

Otherwise: open https://www.xiaohongshu.com and observe the left sidebar:

• User avatar or "Me" entry visible → logged in, continue execution
• "Login" button visible → not logged in, inform the user that login is required, use remote-assist to let the user scan the QR code

User refuses or cannot log in → terminate execution.

Capability Components

This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. Its role is equivalent to copy-pasting on the user's behalf — the data is already on screen, automation merely saves time. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the scripts/ directory, invoked via eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py {params})". $(...) is bash syntax; it is recommended to use the bash tool for execution.

Below are all atomic capabilities discovered and verified during the exploration phase, listed by command template with parameters. Simply invoke them as needed — no need to read scripts/*.py source code or re-verify. Only inspect scripts when execution fails for troubleshooting. Combine freely as needed during execution.

DOM: extract user profile

Navigate to the user profile page, wait for Vue SSR state to populate, then extract from window.__INITIAL_STATE__.user.userPageData:

1. navigate https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/{user_id}
2. wait stable
3. eval "$(python scripts/extract-user-profile.py {user_id})"

Parameters:

• {user_id}: user ID (from note detail userId field or from the profile URL)

Output example:

{
  "userId": "5bac4e3f7a4c7300016a6b88",
  "nickname": "LaLaIrene",
  "desc": "Personal bio text...",
  "gender": 1,                   // 0=unknown, 1=male, 2=female
  "ipLocation": "Shanghai",
  "avatar": "https://sns-avatar-...",
  "follows": "361",
  "fans": "23904",
  "interaction": "1086463",      // total likes + collects received
  "tags": ["travel", "food"]
}

Error handling: if error: true is returned, verify the page URL is a user profile page and wait stable has completed.

DOM: extract user notes list

After navigating to the profile page (same page as user profile), extract notes already loaded into Vue state:

eval "$(python scripts/extract-user-notes.py --limit {limit})"

Parameters:

• --limit: max notes to return from current state, default 30

Output example:

{
  "total": 24,
  "hasMore": false,
  "notes": [
    {
      "id": null,
      "type": "normal",
      "title": "Not Switzerland! This is a natural grassland in Fujian!!",
      "likedCount": "5149",
      "collectedCount": "4170",
      "commentCount": "390",
      "coverUrl": "https://sns-..."
    }
  ]
}

Error handling: if error: true is returned, ensure the user profile page is loaded first (steps 1–2 above).

Composite: get full user data (profile + notes)

Run both extractions on the same page load — no additional navigation needed:

1. navigate https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/{user_id}
2. wait stable
3. eval "$(python scripts/extract-user-profile.py {user_id})"
4. eval "$(python scripts/extract-user-notes.py --limit {limit})"

Merge results by userId field.

Pagination

DOM Pagination (notes list): Initial page load pre-populates visible notes. To load more:

1. scroll down --amount 3000
2. wait stable
3. eval "$(python scripts/extract-user-notes.py --limit {limit})"

Each scroll triggers the page to load additional notes into user.notes[0]. Re-running the extraction script after each scroll retrieves the full accumulated list. Termination: hasMore: false in extraction output.

Success Criteria

profile.userId is non-null AND profile.nickname is non-null AND notes.total >= 0
