Back Market
Back Market is a French-founded global online marketplace dedicated exclusively to refurbished consumer electronics — smartphones, laptops, tablets, consoles, watches, audio and home appliances — operating across 17 countries on three regional platforms (EU via backmarket.fr, North America via backmarket.com, Asia-Pacific via backmarket.co.jp). For the ~1,800 professional refurbishers selling on the platform, Back Market publishes a seller-facing REST API (the "Back Market API Guidelines") covering the marketplace taxonomy, product and listing management, order and orderline workflows, BuyBack (trade-in) orders and listings, Backship deliveries and returns, the Care after-sales platform (claims, messages, refunds, item transfers), and Backbox competitive pricing data. The API is documented as an OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract rendered with Stoplight Elements at api.backmarket.dev, authenticated with a Basic token issued from the seller Back Office, and mirrored by preprod environments on every regional platform.
Back Market publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Backbox API, Backship API, Care API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Company, E-Commerce, Marketplace, Retail, and Refurbished Electronics.
The Back Market catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Back Market’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 33 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Markets and Environmental Services (carbon removal, waste, mining) | undeclared | - | - | - |
| Electronics Recycling & Circular Economy (e-waste, battery value chain, circularity networks) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
