Kuwo Music (酷我音乐) is a Chinese online music streaming service, founded in Beijing in 2005, that grew from a desktop music player into one of China's major consumer streaming apps across desktop, web, and mobile. Kuwo merged with Kugou under China Music Corporation, which was subsequently acquired by Tencent Music Entertainment Group, and Kuwo now operates as one of TME's music apps alongside QQ Music and Kugou. Kuwo entered the API Evangelist network as a venture-portfolio lead via Qiming. It is a consumer-facing streaming property rather than an API-first provider, and no public developer program, API documentation, or machine-readable API surface has been verified for it.
Kuwo Music is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Music, Streaming, Media, and Entertainment.
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.
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/kuwo: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

last-run: '2026-07-19'
outcome: blocked
detail: Enrichment could not reach the provider. kuwo.cn resolves in DNS but every TCP/443 connection times out from the
enrichment network (China-hosted and apparently geo/firewall restricted), so no docs, portal, well-known document, or
spec could be fetched. Web search quota for the session was also exhausted, so the SEARCH path was unavailable. Only DNS-layer
facts were recoverable. NOTHING here should be read as "the provider does not publish X" — re-run from a network with
China reachability.
recoverable-next-run:
- well-known probes (security.txt, openid-configuration, api-catalog)
- developer portal / open platform discovery
- TLS + HSTS posture
