Developer Rating Strategy

Read the following documents to help you understand the strategies related to developer grading.

Why do you want to grade developers

1. Form a virtuous closed loop of mutual benefit and win-win results

We will improve the ecological order of the open platform through a reasonable developer grading strategy, link the interests of partners with the development of the microblog open platform, and promote the formation of a virtuous closed-loop of win-win cooperation.

2. Reasonably allocate open resources and standardize the open environment

For open resources such as microblog open platform interfaces, SDKs, components, etc., hierarchical permission management should be carried out for common developers and partners to achieve reasonable and effective use of resources, avoid resource waste, and ensure the interests of both parties.

What is developer rating

The microblog open platform divides registered developers into two categories, ordinary developers and partners.

1. Ordinary developer

Anyone who registers as a developer on the microblog open platform, whether the subject is an enterprise or an individual, will become an ordinary developer by default.

2. Partners

On the basis of ordinary developers, according to the quality of products and services provided, developers who have reached mutually beneficial cooperation with the microblog open platform will be upgraded to partners.

3. Partner Category

After becoming a partner, it will be divided into an appropriate category. Different partner categories will have different cooperation preferences. For example, news media partners will focus on fostering and providing high-level interface permissions for content publishing.
