Micro Connect

Micro Connect (滴灌通) is a Hong Kong-founded financial market infrastructure group, established in 2021 by Charles Li (former CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing) and Gary Zhang, that turns the daily revenue of micro, small and medium businesses into a standardised, tradable asset class. Its Daily Revenue Obligation (DRO) and revenue-based financing contracts are listed, cleared and settled on the Micro Connect (Macao) Financial Assets Exchange (MCEX) — a financial institution approved by Macao executive order Ordem Executiva n.º 47/2022 and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Macao, and wholly owned by Micro Connect Group. The group runs several operator-facing web platforms on its own SaaS stack — the Micro Connect Open Platform (open.microconnect.com) for brand and merchant data onboarding, the M-Terminal investor terminal (mt.microconnect.com), and the store/merchant consoles — all served from a single API gateway at api.mcisaas.com and authenticated by a Keycloak identity provider at kc.mcisaas.com. No public developer program, API reference or machine-readable API contract is published; the integration surface is reachable only after enterprise account registration and login.

Micro Connect publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Financial-Services, Capital Markets, Exchanges, and Revenue-Based Financing.

Micro Connect’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, pricing, authentication, and 14 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime (on an ambiguous tag, where no other regime matched), 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.
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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/micro-connect: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?

  detail: Micro Connect's only API surface is the Open Platform (滴灌通开放平台) at open.microconnect.com, an enterprise console
    whose SPA calls an Apache ShenYu gateway at api.mcisaas.com behind a Keycloak login (realm numa-realm, client web-mcc-open-platform);
    there is no developer portal, no API reference and no spec at any path on any host, and the console's origin open.microconnect.cn
    has served an expired TLS certificate since 2024-11-27.
