BYBE

BYBE, Inc. is a promotion platform for the beer, wine, and spirits industry, connecting alcohol beverage brands, retailers, and consumers through digital cash-back rebates. Brands fund offers in the BYBE dashboard; retailers embed those offers in their own apps, sites and loyalty programs, and BYBE handles US state-by-state alcohol promotion compliance, redemption validation, clearing and consumer payout. BYBE publishes a real OpenAPI 3.0.1 contract for its Retail API at api.bybe.io covering manufacturers, products, offers, clips, consumers, stores and redemption disbursements, with HTTP Basic authentication and a documented SFTP CSV batch alternative for retailers that cannot call the API in real time. Backed by Techstars and Rev1 Ventures, BYBE was acquired by Swiftly in March 2024 and continues to operate under its own brand and domains.

BYBE publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Clips API, Consumers API, Manufacturers API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Alcohol, Beverages, Promotions, and Rebates.

The BYBE catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

BYBE’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, support, authentication, sandbox, and 22 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship

Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

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
Food Safety (GFSI-recognised certification)	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.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

  note: Round 2 contract discovery overturned round 1's "no developer portal, no API documentation, no machine-readable specification"
    finding. The BYBE API v1 OpenAPI 3.0.1 (16 operations) was live the whole time at https://api.bybe.io/v1/swagger.yaml,
