## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | A note link (/explore/<note ID> or /discovery/item/<note ID>) or a Xiaohongshu share link. Only the note ID is needed, not the xsec_token; if the link carries one, the returned note link keeps it. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| field | meaning |
|---|---|
| note_id | Note ID. Comment capabilities use it to point back to the note. |
| url | The record's link on Xiaohongshu. Links from search, note, profile and hashtag usually carry an access token, so they open in a signed-out browser (the token expires; call again for a fresh link). Note links from user_posts carry no token and need one to open in a browser: call note with the note ID to get a link that opens. Profile links from search_users carry no token either; call profile with the user_id for one that opens. Note links from pgy_content_square carry a token, except with `keyword`, where they carry none. |
| location_text | The note's tagged place exactly as shown (note_location), such as a city and a café; when several places are tagged it reads like a city followed by etc. An untagged note returns an empty result. |
| city | City of the tagged place (note_location), the part before the dot; absent when several places are tagged. |
| poi_name | Place name: on search, the place tagged on the result card; on note_location, the part of the note's tagged place after the dot, such as a café branch. Absent when no place, or several places, are tagged. |
| poi_ids | Place IDs of the tagged place (note_location), in page order; several when several places are tagged. |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
