Alibaba Local Services
Alibaba Local Services (阿里巴巴本地生活) is Alibaba Group's on-demand local-life services business, formed in 2018 by integrating the Ele.me food-delivery platform with the Koubei local-services and restaurant-discovery platform. It operates on-demand food and grocery delivery, local merchant services, reviews and reservations, and last-mile logistics across China, and received a major financing round led by the SoftBank Vision Fund. This API Evangelist profile was surfaced as a SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio company and added to the network as a lead; no distinct public developer API surface has been confirmed for the holding entity under this name (its consumer platforms Ele.me and Koubei operate their own separate open platforms).
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Alibaba Local Services is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alibaba Local Services scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
Alibaba Local Services is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
