# Xiaohongshu — Note Detail & Comments

> note_id + xsecToken → note metadata, author info, engagement stats, comment list

## Language

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

## Objective

Navigate to a Xiaohongshu note detail page and extract the full note metadata plus its paginated comment list.

## Prerequisites

- Browser opened to `https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/{note_id}?xsec_token={xsecToken}&xsec_source=pc_search`
- 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 note detail

Navigate to the note page, wait for Vue SSR state to populate, then extract from `window.__INITIAL_STATE__.note.noteDetailMap`:

1. `navigate https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/{note_id}?xsec_token={xsecToken}&xsec_source=pc_search`
2. `wait stable`
3. `eval "$(python scripts/extract-note-detail.py {note_id})"`

Parameters:
- `{note_id}`: note ID (from search result `id` field or from the note URL)
- `{xsecToken}`: security token (from search result `xsecToken` field)

Output example:
```json
{
  "noteId": "69d8cd8c0000000022002295",
  "title": "Not Switzerland! This is a natural grassland in Fujian!!",
  "desc": "Full post body text...",
  "type": "normal",
  "time": 1748390400000,        // publish timestamp (ms)
  "ipLocation": "Fujian",
  "userId": "5bac4e3f7a4c7300016a6b88",
  "nickname": "half-goose",
  "avatar": "https://sns-avatar-...",
  "likedCount": "5149",
  "collectedCount": "4170",
  "commentCount": "390",
  "shareCount": "112",
  "tagList": [{"name": "travel", "type": "topic"}],
  "imageCount": 9
}
```

Error handling: if `error: true` is returned, verify the page URL is a note detail page, `wait stable` has completed, and the `note_id` matches the URL.

### DOM: extract note comments

After navigating to the note page (same page as note detail), extract initial comments already loaded into Vue state:

`eval "$(python scripts/extract-note-comments.py {note_id})"`

Parameters:
- `{note_id}`: same note ID used when navigating

Output example:
```json
{
  "count": 10,
  "cursor": "aabbcc112233",     // pass to next page load; empty string when on first page
  "hasMore": true,
  "comments": [
    {
      "id": "6835ae0e000000001203a14c",
      "content": "So beautiful!",
      "likeCount": "23",
      "createTime": 1748390500000,
      "ipLocation": "Guangdong",
      "userId": "5c3a6f020000000007010b9f",
      "nickname": "travel-enthusiast-xw",
      "avatar": "https://sns-avatar-..."
    }
  ]
}
```

Error handling: if `error: true` is returned, ensure the note detail page is loaded first (step 3 of note detail component above).

### Composite: get full note (detail + initial comments)

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

1. `navigate https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/{note_id}?xsec_token={xsecToken}&xsec_source=pc_search`
2. `wait stable`
3. `eval "$(python scripts/extract-note-detail.py {note_id})"`
4. `eval "$(python scripts/extract-note-comments.py {note_id})"`

Merge results by `noteId` field.
