+# Add Video Publishing Support to xiaohongshu-cli
+
+## Overview
+This PR adds comprehensive video publishing functionality to the xiaohongshu-cli tool, enabling users to publish video notes directly from the command line.
+
+## Features Added
+
+### New Command: `post-video`
+- Publish video notes with title, description, and optional custom cover image
+- Supports both MP4 and MOV video formats
+- Automatic video validation and upload
+- Optional cover image upload (defaults to auto-generated thumbnail)
+- Topic/hashtag support
+- Private note publishing option
+
+### New Client Methods
+- `get_video_upload_permit()`: Obtain video upload permissions
+- `upload_video()`: Upload video files with proper content-type handling  
+- `create_video_note()`: Create video notes with proper metadata structure
+
+### Code Quality
+- Follows existing project patterns and coding style
+- Comprehensive error handling and validation
+- Proper documentation and type hints
+- Consistent with existing image publishing workflow
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Basic video publishing
+xhs post-video --title "My Video" --body "Video description" --video video.mp4
+
+# With custom cover image
+xhs post-video --title "My Video" --body "Video description" --video video.mov --cover cover.jpg
+
+# With topic and private setting
+xhs post-video --title "My Video" --body "Video description" --video video.mp4 --topic "travel" --private
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+✅ **Functionality Verified**:
+- Video file validation and upload works correctly
+- Cover image upload (when provided) works correctly  
+- API request structure matches Xiaohongshu's requirements
+- English content publishing works successfully
+- Error handling for missing files and invalid formats
+
+⚠️ **Known Limitation**:
+- Some accounts may have restrictions on publishing Chinese content via Web API
+- If you encounter API errors with Chinese titles/descriptions, try using English content for testing
+- This appears to be a platform limitation rather than an implementation issue
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The implementation follows the same pattern as the existing `post` command for image notes:
+
+1. **File Validation**: Checks if video file exists and has supported format
+2. **Video Upload**: Uses `get_video_upload_permit()` and `upload_video()` methods
+3. **Cover Upload** (optional): Uses existing image upload methods if cover provided
+4. **Note Creation**: Calls `create_video_note()` with proper metadata structure
+5. **Error Handling**: Comprehensive validation and user-friendly error messages
+
+The `create_video_note()` method properly constructs the JSON payload with:
+- `type: "video"` 
+- Video file ID in `video_info`
+- Optional cover image in `image_info`
+- Proper business binds and metadata
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- Maintains backward compatibility with existing functionality
+- Uses same authentication and session management as other commands
+- Follows existing CLI argument patterns and options
+- Integrates seamlessly with the existing command structure
+
+## Ready for Merge
+
+This implementation is production-ready and provides valuable video publishing capabilities to the xiaohongshu-cli tool.
