Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or cookies to scrape live streams?

No. This actor runs 100% cookie-free in the cloud with managed proxy routing—no personal RedNote account, SMS verification, or session tokens required.

Q: Can I record or transcribe the extracted 1080p live stream URLs?

Yes. Every live room record includes direct 1080p .flv and .m3u8 (HLS) stream URLs (plus backup CDN URLs) that can be piped directly into ffmpeg, VLC, or OpenAI Whisper ASR.

Q: How do I filter for Live E-Commerce (买手直播 / 店播) rooms selling products?

Each room includes a boolean hasGoods flag and monetizeType field indicating whether an active e-commerce shopping cart is attached to the live broadcast.

Q: How does Pay-Per-Event pricing work for Live Rooms vs. Live Chat?

You only pay per extracted live stream room ($0.0079 on Free tier down to $0.0054 on Gold+), per standalone live chat message in Live Chat mode ($0.0035), or per optional enriched host KOL profile ($0.0059).
