Weather & Geospatial in Greater China

6 weather & geospatial providers across Greater China, publishing 10 APIs.

6 providers 10 published APIs 10 indexed documents

Weather & Geospatial across Greater China — 6 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 10 indexed APIs.

4 of the 6 publish at least one machine-readable API; 2 publish nothing indexed at all. That split is the first thing worth reading here — a vertical can be well represented in a market and still have almost no programmable surface.

By Kin Score band: 4 minimal, 1 thin, and 1 emerging.

Leading by rating: ColorfulClouds, Baidu, Hong Kong Obervatory, Hong Kong GeoData Store, airquality, and GAGO Group.

Region membership is derived from three explicit signals — a provider tag, a provider-name pattern, or a stated headquarters in the provider’s own description. This is a map of stated headquarters, not of markets served.

This page is the intersection of two independently computed cohorts: Greater China and Weather & Geospatial. A provider appears here only when it is already a member of both. Greater China membership is matched on tag, name pattern, stated HQ, so this is a floor rather than a census — coverage gaps show up here as small numbers, not as absent pages.
