# 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:
```json
{
  "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:
```json
{
  "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})"`
