# Xiaohongshu Trending API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/xiaohongshu/trending)

> Returns the live Xiaohongshu hot search board: ranked topics with a hot value. There is no next page. A lower limit returns the top of the same board, and you are charged for the topics returned.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
