from #1055:

link samples

shortlink:
http://xhslink.com/a/HFNEzlEk7tP3

share button copies this, so if cobalt can detect the link from this thatd be cool ig:
88 Kimmich发布了一篇小红书笔记，快来看吧！ 😆 uvdE5BDEqh0P51h 😆 http://xhslink.com/a/HFNEzlEk7tP3，复制本条信息，打开【小红书】App查看精彩内容！

note that share text link contains a ， (not a ,), which social media like Discord parse into the link, and they know this, so they seem to split off everything after ，.

Once you fetch the HTML page from xiaohongshu.com, the data is stored in the window.__INITIAL_STATE__ object after page load, you can get everything you need.

window.__INITIAL_STATE__.note.noteDetailMap["note_id"].note.imageList is an image array for image notes
window.__INITIAL_STATE__.note.noteDetailMap["note_id"].note.video.media.stream is the video URLs for video notes

Here is how it look like for image notes:

And here is how it look like for video notes:

You can try it on your browser console!
