Baidu Zhidao, similar to Yahoo Answers, launched API platform. There are so far nine partners including abang.com (about.com in China) who have implemented Baidu Zhidao API.
Users can ask and answer questions across different websites directly or indirectly via its powerful APIs.
Baidu Zhidao APIs allows two types of partnership: one for high traffic volume, called channel partnership, provides not only APIs, but also free web space and data transfer. Channel partner websites users can log in with their own id and password to ask and answer questions, which will be synchronized with Baidu Zhidao.
The other partnership is for small to medium websites with similar features; but no free webspace or data transfer will be provided.
