🇨🇳Retail in China

Retail in China — 42 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 57 indexed APIs.

7 of the 42 publish at least one machine-readable API; 35 publish nothing indexed at all. That split is the first thing worth reading here — a vertical can be well represented in a market and still have almost no programmable surface.

By Kin Score band: 34 minimal, 5 emerging, 1 exemplar, and 1 developing.

Leading by rating: AfterShip, EZR, VIPShop, Genki Forest, Ubras, Huice, and 36 more.

Country membership reads a tag, a stated headquarters or a stated nationality. A provider lands in China when one of its own top-level tags names the country, when its own description states a headquarters that names the country or one of its cities, or when it describes itself by nationality (“a French company”; roadmap#542, #719). Region words (“Latin American”), language uses (“French-speaking”) and a city named outside a headquarters statement are not counted, so this cell is a floor, not a census.
