Technical Documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a Xiaohongshu account or personal login cookies?

No. The UnitBytes engine operates 100% anonymously using autonomous request orchestration. You never need to supply login credentials, session cookies, or phone numbers.

Q: Are the image and video links permanent or do they expire?

All extracted media links are normalized to permanent public CDN endpoints without expiring authorization signatures, preventing 403 Forbidden errors in your downstream applications.

Q: How does the pricing work?

This actor utilizes Apify Pay-Per-Event (PPE) model at $0.003 per extracted note. You only pay for successfully parsed records, with zero standby or compute time overhead.

Q: Can I schedule automated daily or hourly extractions?

Yes. You can schedule recurring runs directly in the Apify Console or trigger runs via Webhook or REST API from your own backend or Airflow DAGs.
