Does Airship support Baidu? Does Airship support the Chinese market?

Follow

Hello,

Thanks for contact Airship Support!

In regards to Airship's support for Baidu and the Chinese market at large, Airship does support Baidu via Open Channels. Linked below is the relevant documentation on how to get started with it:

https://docs.airship.com/platform/open/getting-started/

Below are the steps listed to get Baidu Push up and running:

For the Open-Channel Integration with Middleware/Backend for Baidu Push, the following steps are needed:

1. Your developers need to create a Webhook REST API, so that Airship can push the message to that URL.
   1. Here are the required specifications of that Webhook API: https://docs.airship.com/platform/open/getting-started/#set-up-your-webhook-server
2. When a Baidu device is registered on your Middleware, you have to add that device in Airship via API – that’s called "Channel Registration":
   1. https://docs.airship.com/platform/open/getting-started/#register-a-channel-to-your-open-platform
   2. https://docs.airship.com/api/ua/#operation/api/channels/open/post
   3. Also, do a Named-User association if you use named-user id.
3. After that, you can send messages to that device in the Airship UI with text, title, and an extra payload (e.g. link or Image-url)
