description: 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.

  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.
