Weshine

Weshine (闪萌, Shanmeng), operated by Beijing Shanqu Information Technology Co., Ltd (北京闪趣信息技术有限公司), is a Chinese GIF and animated-sticker (表情) search engine. It offers a business-to-business "Expression API" (表情API) with three documented interfaces — a hot/trending interface (热门接口) that returns trending GIFs by category refreshed hourly, a real-time search interface (搜索接口) supporting gif/webp/mp4 and multi-dimensional ranking, and a "magic image" interface (神配图接口) that semantically matches a phrase to a background GIF and composites a caption onto it. The platform reports 800M+ users covered, 300M+ daily searches, and 200M+ animated images sent per day, powering social apps, input methods (including its own KK Keyboard), and browsers. API access is via business partnership; no public self-serve developer portal, OpenAPI specification, or SDK is published.

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/weshine: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
