description: 'Kuaishou Technology (快手) is a Beijing-based short-video and live-streaming platform operating Kuaishou in mainland
  China and Kwai internationally, spanning short video, live commerce, local services and online marketing. Its developer
  surface is split across two public properties: the Kuaishou Open Platform (open.kuaishou.com), which exposes an OAuth 2.0
  authorization-code flow and a JSON Open API for third-party apps, mini programs and merchant integrations; and Kwai for
  Business (developers.kwai.com), the international marketing/advertising API used by advertisers and measurement partners.
  Kuaishou also publishes open source under the Kwai GitHub organization. Documentation on both portals is delivered as a
  JavaScript single-page application and is largely Chinese-language and gated behind developer registration, so this profile
  records only endpoints and pages verified by live HTTP probe.'

  name: Kuaishou Open Platform API
  description: The Kuaishou Open Platform (快手开放平台) exposes a JSON HTTP API for third-party applications, mini programs and
    merchant tools built on Kuaishou. Access is granted through a standard OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow (/oauth2/authorize
    plus /oauth2/access_token) and API calls are made against the /openapi path. Responses use a Kuaishou-specific envelope
    carrying a numeric result code, an error_msg and a request_id for support correlation.
