How to research Xiaohongshu / Douyin topics with Infomelt: from browsing to a content brief in 10 steps

You only do two things you already do: search a keyword and scroll, and open a few notes to read. Infomelt does the organising, exporting and analysis. Watch the 30-second demo, then follow the 10 steps; the first run takes about half an hour.

30-second demo: keywords → filters → scroll → open notes → pass 2 → next keyword → export → cloud analysis. (Captions in the video are Chinese; the steps below are the same.)

Type your keywords in Work → Plan and click Start capture

Enter 1–5 keywords, one per line. A single keyword can't tell you whether it's good; several side by side show which deserves budget. Click Start capture on a keyword and its search page opens with the side panel on the Capture tab.

Set the filters on the search page: Most liked + Past week, then Start pass 1

Pass 1 looks at what was hottest in the last week. Sort by Most liked, time = Past week, then press Start pass 1 in the panel. The platform resets filters when you change keyword, so set them once per keyword; the panel reminds you.

Scroll as you normally would; the big number shows how many are still needed

Nothing special to do. The big number in step 2 is how many more notes you need; it stops automatically at the target. It never scrolls or clicks for you — it only records what you already saw.

Open notes to read; “Open these” picks the most-liked ones for you

Once the list is full, step 3 lists the most-liked notes you haven't opened yet. Open each one for about 2 seconds; the body text and comments are recorded automatically. 15–30 on Xiaohongshu, 6 on Douyin is enough.

Body text and comments are recorded automatically; it tells you when you can close

After opening a note the panel shows how much text and how many comments were captured and says you can close it. For videos it records title, text, comments and cover, never the video itself.

After pass 1, switch filters to Latest + Any time and start pass 2

Pass 2 looks at what was just published. Sort by Latest, time = Any, press Start pass 2. No need to open notes in pass 2; just scroll. The report's rising signals come from this pass.

When a keyword has done both passes, it takes you to the next keyword

With several keywords, finish both passes of one before moving on. Step 4 shows “Search next keyword”; click it, set filters back to Most liked + Past week, and press Start pass 1.

All done: the spreadsheet is exported, one click to cloud analysis

When every keyword is finished the panel shows “Cloud analysis → report”. “Start a new batch” is a separate batch and clears the current data — don't confuse it with switching keyword.

An Excel with cover thumbnails lands in your Downloads folder

The spreadsheet is saved under Downloads / Infomelt / capture / keyword_date with title, author, likes, saves, comments, publish time, link, body text, comments and cover thumbnails. This step is entirely local: no login, nothing uploaded.

Cloud analysis: fill in your product card, then press Start

On the Cloud tab, enter what you sell, whether you can appear on camera, which account will publish, and whether you have the product. Specifications, price and measured facts help make the advice specific. Author names and IDs are stripped in your browser before upload. The report downloads to Downloads / Infomelt / reports: analysis Excel, a two-page brief, the per-post appendix and the readout.

Review results after you publish

  1. In the extension, open System → Cloud → My topic library and click “Link published post” on the topic you used. Paste its published URL.
  2. Export a CSV/Excel detail sheet from your own creator dashboard, including post URL and impressions or views, then click “Import metrics”. Only matching numbers are stored; the uploaded source file is discarded.
  3. Export and import again at least 24 hours later to see the change between snapshots. The next brief shows those numbers without claiming that a recommendation caused the change.

Sync the topic library to a Feishu / Lark Base (optional)

After each run, the “make first” and “recommended” topics are written to your Base; missing columns are created. Set up a custom app in your own tenant, five steps:

  1. Open open.feishu.cn (or open.larksuite.com) → Developer console → “Create custom app”, any name.
  2. “Credentials & basic info”: note the App ID and App Secret.
  3. “Permissions” → search “Base” and enable “View, comment, edit and manage Base” (bitable:app); then “Version management” → create a version → publish (your tenant admin approves).
  4. Open the target Base → top-right “…” → “Add document app” → pick the app → “Can edit”. Click into the target table and copy the full browser URL (with ?table=).
  5. In the extension → System → Cloud → My topic library → “Feishu / Lark”, paste App ID, App Secret and the link, click “Save & verify”. “Sync now” pushes the topics you already have.

The secret is stored on our server only to write the table; it never appears in reports or logs. “Disconnect” deletes it at once.

FAQ

What the report uses and how caps work

Every note you scrolled past goes into the report. Title, likes, saves, publish time and cover feed the template library, rising signals and keyword comparison. The only limit is notes per batch (Weekly pass / Small 300, Large 400, XL 500) and the panel stops at the target by itself.

Notes you opened get deep analysis, capped by plan: Weekly pass / Small 30 per batch, Large 45, XL 60 — per batch, not per keyword; the per-keyword target in the panel is that cap split evenly. If you open more than the cap, the most engaged ones are kept by default (Settings lets you keep the first opened instead); the rest still count in list stats and no extra run is charged. The panel warns you when you reach the cap.

Deep analysis looks at four things: title, body text, comments and images. Images means the cover plus up to 3 (cover, 2nd, 3rd), enough to see how a post hooks, develops and closes. Video notes are also analysed from their voice-over transcript and key frames (since 2026-09-28), so the report can say how a viral video talks and shoots; each 'make first' item carries a script pack (hook, shots, CTA, AI prompt). Full-image analysis (up to 9) is reserved for XL and higher tiers.

Order in the report: the analysis sheet and the per-note plans are sorted recommended-first, then by likes.

Which browsers? How do I install?

For your first batch, use desktop Chrome / Edge. Already using Brave, Comet or 360 Extreme X? Follow the manual steps below.

Brave, Comet and 360 Extreme X passed basic checks on tested versions. QQ Browser is still being verified and is not recommended yet. Firefox, Safari and mobile browsers are not supported. The 360 checks apply to Extreme X only.

Go to browser installation steps ↓

Tested versions

macOS: Chrome for Testing 151, Edge 153, Brave 1.99.55, Comet 156. Windows: 360 Extreme X 23.1.1253.64. Basic checks apply to these versions; they do not validate other systems, versions or every platform video.

INSTALL

Chrome / Edge: use the store buttons below for automatic updates. Brave / Comet / 360 Extreme X, or stores unavailable: use the manual package.

Installation and your first batch

  1. Download the package (v1.8.3, zip, ~0.7 MB) and unzip it into a folder you won't delete
  2. Open the extensions page: Chrome / Comet / 360 Extreme X — chrome://extensions; Edge — edge://extensions; Brave — brave://extensions. Turn on Developer mode
  3. Click “Load unpacked” and choose the unzipped Infomelt folder containing manifest.json, not the ZIP or its parent folder
  4. Open Xiaohongshu or Douyin and click Infomelt in the toolbar. Pin its icon from the Extensions menu if needed. Go to Work → Capture, choose your platform and click Start, then search, scroll and open posts yourself. The interface opens as a side panel or popup

A manually installed copy doesn't update itself. When a new version is out, a red line appears at the top of the panel; download, unzip over the old folder and click Reload on the extensions page. Your data is kept.
