Xiaohongshu Video Downloader

Download videos from Xiaohongshu (小红书) by extracting the real CDN URL from the page.

How It Works

Xiaohongshu videos use blob URLs in the browser, which cannot be downloaded directly. This skill:

Uses browser automation to load the page (required for JS rendering)
Extracts the real CDN video URL from the page HTML
Downloads the video with proper headers

Method 1: Browser Automation (Recommended)

Use the browser tool to extract the video URL:

Navigate to the Xiaohongshu page:

text

browser action=navigate targetUrl="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/NOTE_ID"

Extract the video URL with JavaScript:

javascript

(() => {
  const html = document.documentElement.outerHTML;
  const mp4Matches = html.match(/https?:\/\/[^"\s]+\.mp4[^"\s]*/g);
  if (mp4Matches) return [...new Set(mp4Matches)];
  return null;
})()

Download with curl:

bash

curl -L -o output.mp4 "<VIDEO_URL>" \
  -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36" \
  -H "Referer: https://www.xiaohongshu.com/"

Method 2: Python Script
