Kuaishou
Kuaishou Technology (快手) is a Beijing-based short-video and live-streaming platform operating Kuaishou in mainland China and Kwai internationally, spanning short video, live commerce, local services and online marketing. Its developer surface is split across two public properties: the Kuaishou Open Platform (open.kuaishou.com), which exposes an OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and a JSON Open API for third-party apps, mini programs and merchant integrations; and Kwai for Business (developers.kwai.com), the international marketing/advertising API used by advertisers and measurement partners. Kuaishou also publishes open source under the Kwai GitHub organization. Documentation on both portals is delivered as a JavaScript single-page application and is largely Chinese-language and gated behind developer registration, so this profile records only endpoints and pages verified by live HTTP probe.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Kuaishou the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Kuaishou scores 18.9/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 17/100 (agent aware). 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 Kuaishou
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kuaishou. 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 2
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.

Security 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.
