China Mobile
China Mobile Limited is the world's largest mobile network operator by subscribers, serving approximately 1,005 million mobile customers and 110 million gigabit broadband customers across all 31 provinces of mainland China plus Hong Kong, with roaming into more than 200 countries. Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange and majority-owned by state-held China Mobile Communications Group, it runs mobile, broadband, cellular IoT, satellite internet, data centre, cloud and AI businesses on annual revenue of about RMB 1,050.2 billion. In the network-API value chain China Mobile sits squarely on the operator side, not the aggregator side. It joined the GSMA Open Gateway initiative in June 2023, sponsors and maintains several CAMARA APIs upstream (Click to Dial, the Model as a Service family, High-throughput Elastic Network, Facial Recognition, and co-sponsors Network Slice Booking), and in October 2024 secured GSMA Open Gateway certification for its Network-as-a-Service platform after its Quality on Demand API passed 63 conformance tests on ZTE NEF/SCEF exposure functions. None of that is callable from the open internet. Its API posture is partner-gated and domestic — the capability platforms at dev.10086.cn, ct.open.10086.cn and api.iot.10086.cn publish real product and interface documentation but issue credentials only to registered mainland enterprise customers under contract, and China Mobile is not a shareholder in Aduna, so it reaches developers through its own Chinese-language capability marketplaces rather than through the global CPaaS or aggregator channel. The one genuinely self-serve surface is OneNET, its IoT PaaS, which publishes open developer documentation and a live token-authenticated device API.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles China Mobile the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 6 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
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 — China Mobile scores 49.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 60/100 (agent ready). 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.

How we profile China Mobile
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for China Mobile. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 6
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Event Specifications 2
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

ASYNCAPISecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
