About TideAPI
China's leading AI model gateway for global partners
Our Mission
One API, Multiple Models, Global Reach
TideAPI is the international arm of Shanghai Yueyuan Technology Co., Ltd. We are an authorized aggregation gateway for China's leading AI models — we curate and deliver top models from providers like DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, Kling, and more through a single unified API.
We handle compliance, localization, and support so our partners don't have to. Our role is not to build AI models, but to be the trusted bridge between China's AI innovation and global business needs.
