coohua

Coohua (酷划在线) is a Beijing-based Chinese mobile advertising company founded in 2014 and backed by Qiming Venture Partners. It pioneered the incentive- and lock-screen-advertising model in China, rewarding users with cash for unlocking their screens, reading content, and engaging with ads. Its flagship products include Coohua Lockscreen (酷划锁屏) and the Tao News (淘新闻) reading-rewards app, serving advertisers across internet, finance, automotive, and e-commerce verticals. At its peak Coohua captured a majority share of China's lock-screen advertising market and returned billions of yuan in cash rewards to users annually. No public API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable specification could be found during enrichment; advertising business is transacted through a sales contact (sale@coohua.com) on the 广告合作 page rather than through any self-serve or programmatic surface. The company does maintain a GitHub organization (github.com/coohua-dev) publishing CocoaPods spec repositories for the iOS modules behind its two apps, but every podspec resolves its source to an unreachable internal gitlab.coohua.com host, so none of it is consumable by a third party. This profile is retained as a company/provider record surfaced from the Qiming portfolio.

coohua is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Mobile, AdTech, and Incentive Advertising.

  detail: Coohua ships consumer reward apps and sells lock-screen ad inventory by email (sale@coohua.com on its 广告合作 page);
    its own coohua.cn domain is dead — the apex has no A record and www/api/open/developer/docs are a DNS wildcard to 39.106.94.60
    that answers openresty HTTP 500 on every path, including "/" — while the surviving coohua.com pages carry no developer,
    API or SDK entry anywhere in their navigation.
