Baicai (白菜二手车, "Baicai Used Cars") is a Chinese used-vehicle trading platform operating a new-retail model that pairs online used-car marketplaces with offline chain "used-car supermarket" stores. Vehicles listed on the platform are inspected by third-party agencies (100+ point checks that exclude major accident, water-damaged, and fire-damaged cars) and carry a return guarantee plus a warranty on major components. The business was spun out of and operates under 58.com (via Tianjin 58 Cloud Car / 天津五八云车) and became independently operated in 2021. It received early seed backing from Ribbit Capital. Baicai is a consumer-facing marketplace and does not publish a public developer platform, API, SDKs, or API documentation; this profile captures its identity and public web presence for the API Evangelist network.
Baicai is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Automotive, Used Cars, Marketplace, and E-Commerce.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/baicai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
