Swap

Swap (Swap Commerce, Inc.) is an agentic commerce platform that helps merchants sell, ship, and scale globally, powering 700+ brands across AI-led product discovery, cross-border checkout, fulfillment, and returns on a shared per-store data layer. Swap exposes six independent public API surfaces: the Agentic Storefront API (conversational discovery, chat, virtual try-on, and checkout), the Global API (cross-border classify, shipping rates, tax and duty calculation, and order reporting), the Protect API (package-protection order enrollment and claims), the Returns API (reverse logistics and quality control), the Shipping API / Swap Values API (customs-correct declared values and commercial-invoice enrichment for any carrier label stack), and the TLC API (guaranteed total landed cost and HS-code classification). Every surface authenticates with a per-API, per-environment API key plus a store identifier, and several ship JWT- or HMAC-signed webhooks.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Swap the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 6 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 — Swap scores 47.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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.

How we profile Swap

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Swap. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 6

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Swap Agentic Storefront API

Public Gateway API for the Agentic Storefront product: conversational discovery and chat, catalog/collection browsing, cart and checkout sessions, virtual try-on, orders and shi...

Swap Global API

Public API for Swap Global: the cross-border checkout flow of classify (HS codes) then optional shipping rates, calculate (taxes and duties), and order completion reporting.

Swap Protect API

Public API for the Swap Protect product: enroll protected orders and manage claim activity (create/update orders, retrieve claims, send claim messages, fetch delivery declaratio...

Swap Returns API

Public API for Swap Returns reverse logistics: list external returns (V1 and V2) and update quality-control status, with per-store JWT-signed webhooks for return lifecycle events.

Swap Shipping API

Public Shipping / Swap Values API: enrich a Shipment Intent into a customs-correct Compliance Pack (declared values, HS codes, commercial-invoice fields), create and cancel carr...

Swap TLC API

Public Total Landed Cost API: compute guaranteed landed cost (duties, taxes, import fees) for single or bulk cross-border shipments, request HS-code classification, and report s...

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

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.

Security Posture 3

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.
