Show all 12 fieldsHide the other 6

Field	Type	View	Description
`published_at`	string \| null	compact	When it was published, ISO 8601 in UTC; null only where the source gives no time (wechat_mp.articles.metrics, wechat_channels.videos.metrics, youtube.channels.videos.list with type=short), then listed in meta.unavailable.
`author`	AccountRef	compact	Who posted it.
`metrics`	Metrics	compact	Counts at fetch time; a count the platform hides is null.

Common errors

Every error has the same shape and says whether it was charged. The ones this endpoint can return:

HTTP	Code	Meaning	Charged

Questions

How much does the Xiaohongshu video note with its video API cost?

One call costs $0.02 and returns one post. 1,000 lookups cost $20.00. Failed calls are not charged.

Can I pass a share link instead of an ID?

Yes. Put the link in url and okdata reads the ID from it. Short share links work too.

Do I need a Xiaohongshu (RedNote) account, cookies or a QR login?

No. You send only your okdata API key. The data is public data from Xiaohongshu (RedNote); nothing is fetched with your own Xiaohongshu (RedNote) account.

Am I charged when a call fails?

No. Every error response says charged: false, except a timeout, which says charged: null until the outcome is known. Resend with the same Idempotency-Key and you are never charged twice.

What if Xiaohongshu (RedNote) does not show a field?

The field is null, and meta.unavailable names it with the reason: platform (the platform never shows it) or capability (we cannot fetch it yet).
