Seel

Seel is a post-purchase protection and e-commerce insurance platform that helps online merchants offer Worry-Free Purchase coverage, Extended Warranty, and return, fulfillment, and price-drop protection to their shoppers. Its API lets merchants request protection Quotes for a cart, bind coverage to Orders (creating Contracts), manage Products, Fulfillments, Claims, and Bills, and emit Events, with contract and claim lifecycle changes delivered via webhooks. Seel serves 5,000+ merchants and has protected 24M+ orders. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Techstars.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Seel the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Seel scores 38.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 32/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Seel Webhooks

Seel delivers webhook notifications to a merchant-configured HTTPS endpoint when protection contract and claim lifecycle events occur. Each notification is a Notification object...

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
