Prepare a Xiaohongshu note’s title, text and ordered images in the web app or your own system. Create a link or QR code for the publisher to review on their phone, attempt to open the Xiaohongshu editor, and confirm publication themselves.
Fixed sample content with no private draft. Open the example to review the full note and learn how to bring it into the Xiaohongshu editor.
From preparation to your final confirmation
Prepare, review and open the editor. You confirm the final post.
Use PNG, JPEG or static WebP, up to 10 MB per image. Long images keep their original dimensions and can be viewed in full on the phone.
Less copying and saving
Keep the title, text and image order together, with fewer files and ordering instructions to pass through chat.
One charge per handoff
A successful creation costs one credit. Retries with the same account, idempotency key and content do not charge again; a new key creates a new billable draft.
Time-limited, revocable links
Links last up to 7 days and expire earlier if hosted images do. Check the actual expiry; the creator can revoke a link.
The publisher has the final say
Deliver the content to a phone and attempt to open the editor. The publisher reviews and confirms publication in Xiaohongshu.
Prepare content on the web
Use a computer or phone to prepare the title, text and ordered images, then create a link and QR code.
After your content tool prepares the text and images, call the API and pass the handoff link to the publisher. Keep the original request and idempotency key when retrying.

Common questions
Before choosing the service, check what the handoff API does, its image limits and billing. Visit usage help for detailed steps and troubleshooting.
Is this an official Xiaohongshu publishing API?
No. The API creates a draft handoff link; it does not publish automatically or unattended. The publisher opens the link on their phone, checks the draft and confirms publication in the Xiaohongshu editor.
Do I need to provide a Xiaohongshu password or Cookie?
You do not provide a Xiaohongshu password or Cookie. Use this service’s API Key to create the handoff; the publisher reviews and confirms it using their own Xiaohongshu account on their phone.
How do desktop, iOS and Android fit into the workflow?
Prepare the draft or show its QR code on a computer, then confirm on a phone. Use Safari on iPhone or the system browser on Android. Results depend on the OS, browser and Xiaohongshu version, so verify the fields in the editor.
Can I hand off long images? How many images, and what about video?
A handoff accepts 1–18 images. Hosted uploads support PNG, JPEG and static WebP up to 10 MB each. Long images can be viewed at full height on the handoff page. Video is not supported.
Are retries or reopening a link charged again?
Creating a handoff uses one credit. Retrying with the same account, idempotency key and content, or viewing an existing link again, does not incur another charge. A new key creates and charges for a new handoff.
How long does a link last, and can I revoke it?
A handoff lasts at most seven days and no longer than its earliest expiring hosted image. Check the actual expiry time. The creator can revoke it earlier. Anyone holding the link can view and forward it, so share it deliberately.
