5miles

5miles is a hyper-local mobile marketplace for buying and selling used goods — cars, furniture, electronics, fashion, baby and kids items — and for offering local services such as beauty, auto repair and home cleaning. Founded in 2014 in Dallas, Texas by Lucas Lu and acquired by a China-based buyer in 2020, the company runs the 5miles iOS and Android apps, the 5miles.com web marketplace, and the 5miles Dash bidding site. 5miles operates as an end-user consumer product only: it publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable specification, and its api.5miles.com host serves the company's own mobile and web clients rather than third-party integrators.

5miles is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Marketplace, Classifieds, E-Commerce, and Local Commerce.

5miles’ developer surface includes support, product news, and 12 more developer resources.
