What you can automate

What can the XiaoHongShu Scraper Make integration do for you?

The XiaoHongShu Scraper Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of bricks called modules, read XiaoHongShu data: notes found by a search, the full detail of one note, its comments and the profile of the account behind it. It has no trigger, so another app or a schedule starts the flow.

A watch list for a product launch. Search Web-based Notes looks for notes on your keyword, then Retrieve a Note Detail fetches each one, and another app stores the result. Your team reviews the notes in one place instead of scrolling the app.

Comment digests for community managers. Retrieve a Comment pulls the discussion under a note you already know, and Retrieve a Secondary Comment goes one level deeper into the replies. That is useful when a note about your brand starts drawing questions.

A creator shortlist for influence campaigns. Retrieve a User Detailed Information returns the profile of an account you spotted, so the details land in your sheet next to the notes that caught your eye.

Know the limits before you start. Make publishes only partial documentation for this app because little public information exists about it, so field names and behavior are discovered by testing with Run once. The same app often has an n8n node too; the n8n vs Make comparison sets out the differences. For a guided start, the Make training covers scenario building, and the Make review explains the plans.

Connect

How do you connect XiaoHongShu Scraper to Make?

  1. 01

    Open the connection dialog

    Add any XiaoHongShu Scraper module to your scenario, then click Create a connection. A connection is your account of the app linked to Make once, and every module of this app reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name it and authorize

    Give the connection a name if you like, which helps when a colleague shares the same workspace. Then authorize Make on the app's page, or paste the key the app gives you, depending on what the window asks for.

  3. 03

    Save and check

    Click Save. The connection now appears in the module's dropdown. Pick it in each XiaoHongShu Scraper module you add, since they all share the same link to your account.

First scenario

Build your first XiaoHongShu Scraper scenario

GoalWhen a new keyword is added in another app, Make searches XiaoHongShu notes on it and fetches the detail of each note found.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Choose the app where your keywords live, for example a sheet your marketing team fills, as the first module.

  2. 02

    Add the note search

    Click the + on the right of that module, search XiaoHongShu Scraper and pick Search Web-based Notes. Link your account, then map the keyword from the previous module.

  3. 03

    Fetch each note

    Add Retrieve a Note Detail after the search. A search returns zero, one or many bundles, meaning single items passed along, so this module runs once per note found.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once and open the bubbles above each module. You see the bundles each one received, which is the only reliable way to learn the fields this app sends back.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, and switch the scenario on. Each module run on one bundle is an operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What each XiaoHongShu Scraper module does

XiaoHongShu Scraper gives you 8 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

XiaoHongShu Scraper1

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

This module gives you access to any endpoint of the app's API from your scenario, using the connection you already set up. You get data the other seven modules do not expose.

When to use it
reach for it only once you have checked that no named module covers your need, since the named ones are simpler to fill.
Watch out
Make's documentation of this app is partial, so you need the API reference of the app itself to build the request.
XiaoHongShu Scraper2

Retrieve a Comment

ActionIn the docs only

Going by its name, it pulls the comments posted under a XiaoHongShu note, so the conversation around a post can reach your sheet or your inbox without anyone copying it.

When to use it
after a note about your product gets traction and your community team wants to read every reaction in one place.
Watch out
the documentation lists no fields for it, so run it once on a known note and read the bundle before mapping anything.
XiaoHongShu Scraper3

Retrieve a Homepage Note List

ActionIn the docs only

Returns a list of notes from the XiaoHongShu homepage, going by its name, which gives you a snapshot of what the platform surfaces without any keyword of your own.

When to use it
when you want a broad view of what is showing up rather than results for one topic you already chose.
Watch out
the list likely holds several notes, so plan what the next module does with each one before you connect it.
XiaoHongShu Scraper4

Retrieve a Note Detail

ActionIn the docs only

Fetches the full content of one note you already identified, turning a reference from a search or a list into something your team can actually read and store.

When to use it
right after Search APP Notes, Search Web-based Notes or the homepage list, to go from a short result to the complete note.
Watch out
placed after a search, it runs once per note found, and each run counts as an operation on your plan.
XiaoHongShu Scraper5

Retrieve a Secondary Comment

ActionIn the docs only

Goes one level below the main comments, which by its name means the replies left under a comment. You see how a thread unfolds, not only its first reactions.

When to use it
a comment raises a question about your brand and you want to know how other users answered it.
Watch out
it most likely needs a comment you already found with Retrieve a Comment, and every extra level of replies adds operations to each run.
XiaoHongShu Scraper6

Retrieve a User Detailed Information

ActionIn the docs only

Brings back the profile of one XiaoHongShu account, so the person behind a note becomes a row you can sort, annotate and share with your team.

When to use it
you are building a shortlist of creators for a campaign and want their profile next to the notes that caught your attention.
Watch out
the documentation does not say which profile fields come back, so check them with Run once before planning your columns.
XiaoHongShu Scraper7

Search APP Notes

SearchIn the docs only

Searches notes through what its name calls the app side of XiaoHongShu and hands each match to the next module, so one query can feed a whole chain.

When to use it
compare its results with Search Web-based Notes on the same keyword, and keep whichever returns what your team is after.
Watch out
like any search in Make, it can return zero results, and the modules after it then simply do not run.
XiaoHongShu Scraper8

Search Web-based Notes

SearchIn the docs only

Looks for notes on a keyword through the web side of XiaoHongShu, going by its name, and passes every note found as a separate bundle to the rest of the scenario.

When to use it
as the starting search of a monitoring flow, followed by Retrieve a Note Detail to read each result in full.
Watch out
the number of results drives the number of operations downstream, so test a narrow keyword first.

FAQ

XiaoHongShu Scraper and Make: common questions

01Is the XiaoHongShu Scraper Make integration free?
Yes, XiaoHongShu Scraper is a standard app, so it works on the Make Free plan. That plan has real limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute, allow unlimited active scenarios and 40 minutes of execution. Usage is counted in operations, one per module run on one bundle, so a search that returns many notes consumes more of your monthly allowance.
02What do you need to connect XiaoHongShu Scraper to Make?
It depends on what the connection window asks for, because Make's documentation for this app lists no prerequisites and no specific steps. The generic flow applies: add a module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the app's page or paste the key the app provides, and click Save. After that, every XiaoHongShu Scraper module in your scenarios reuses the same connection without asking again. Test it with Run once right away.
03Does XiaoHongShu Scraper trigger a Make scenario in real time?
No, because the app has no trigger module at all. Your scenario starts another way: from a trigger of another app, such as a new row in a sheet, or from Make's own schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan the shortest interval is 15 minutes, while paid plans go down to 1 minute. The XiaoHongShu Scraper modules then run as steps inside the flow.
04What if a XiaoHongShu Scraper module is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the app's API with the connection you already have, which covers what the other seven modules do not. Keep in mind that Make publishes only limited documentation for this app, because there is little public information about it, so you will rely on the app's own API reference and on Run once tests to see what comes back. Start with a simple request.
05Should you use Make or n8n for XiaoHongShu Scraper?
It depends on which tool your team already builds in. The same app often has an n8n node as well, so check that it exists before you decide. On the Make side you get 8 modules, a connection shared by all of them and a Free plan to test on. Compare the modules each tool offers for the data you need, then build your first flow where your existing scenarios already live.
