Python crawler practice: crawling Xiaohongshu pictures in four simple steps

Xiaohongshu is a popular social sharing platform that brings together a large number of beautiful pictures. If you want to save or use these images, this article will introduce you in detail how to use a Python crawler to easily crawl Xiaohongshu images.

1. Install the necessary libraries

Before starting, make sure you have the following Python libraries installed:

• requests: used to send HTTP requests and obtain data.

• os: used to create folders and save pictures.

You can install these libraries using the following command:

pip install requests

2. Analyze the URL of Xiaohongshu pictures

Before we start crawling Xiaohongshu pictures, we need to find the URL of the picture. You can use your browser's developer tools or other packet capture tools to obtain relevant information.

Please note that the image URL may change over time, so the code may need to be updated.

3. Write the code to crawl Xiaohongshu pictures

The following is a sample code that demonstrates how to use a Python crawler to crawl Xiaohongshu pictures:

import requests
import os
# 图片URL
image_url = 'https://example.com/image.jpg'
# 发送GET请求，获取图片数据
response = requests.get(image_url)
image_data = response.content
# 文件保存目录
save_dir = '小红书图片'
os.makedirs(save_dir, exist_ok=True)  # 如果目录不存在，创建目录
# 提取图片名称
image_name = image_url.split('/')[-1]
# 保存图片
save_path = os.path.join(save_dir, image_name)
with open(save_path, 'wb') as f:
    f.write(image_data)
print("图片保存成功！")

Please replace the above code https://example.com/image.jpgwith the actual Xiaohongshu image URL.

4. Run the code and crawl the Xiaohongshu pictures

Save the code with the URL replaced as a Python script. After running the code, you will find the saved Little Red Book picture in the directory.

Note: Please be sure to respect the copyright and privacy of the original author, and only use these crawled Little Red Book images in compliance with legal regulations. Follow fair use principles and respect the rights of others.

According to your own needs, you can crawl more beautiful Xiaohongshu pictures and use these pictures under the premise of legal compliance. Please be sure to comply with relevant legal regulations and Xiaohongshu’s usage regulations.
