FAQ
Q: How do I get my own API Key? A: Go to redfox.hk to register and get a Token.
Q: Do the downloaded videos have a watermark? A: No. A direct watermark-free video link is returned.
Q: Can multiple links be parsed in batches?
A: Yes. Separate multiple links with spaces, and they will be parsed one by one, with the number of successes and failures summarized at the end (each link must carry xsec_token）。
Q: Why does my link show "missing xsec_token parameter"?
A: The Xiaohongshu interface requires the link to carry the xsec_token parameter, otherwise it cannot be parsed. Please copy the complete link again from the PC web page address bar or the App share panel, for example:
https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/6a3c7aa6000000001003e071?xsec_token=AB-U4vc8DJUJoY9w-ebP_DvuxgiSNYmx8n35V4zvPo__M=&xsec_source=pc_feed
Q: What happens if I enter a non-Xiaohongshu link?
A: It will show "This link is not a Xiaohongshu video link", attach the official example link, and stop parsing. Please re-enter the correct Xiaohongshu video link (supports www.xiaohongshu.com web links or xhslink.com short links, both must carry xsec_token）。
Q: What should I do if the link shows a parsing failure?
A: Check in order: ① whether the link carries xsec_token; ② whether the link is complete; ③ whether the video still exists and whether the note content is public. Private notes or deleted notes cannot be parsed.
