Business use case
This API lets you access the latest summary information of a quote. This includes both customer-confirmed facts and assumptions made by our system.
Facts are needed to determine a quote price. This includes details such as the building strata flag for home insurance, or the vehicle garaging postcode for motor insurance.
Assumptions cover any missing data in the price estimate that our API infers from a predefined set of assumptions. For example, if the vehicle use is not specified in the request, our system will assume it’s for private use.
This API needs to follow one of the below APIs:
- Price Estimate – Assisted
- Price Estimate – Send email
These APIs generate a unique identifier (UUID) for the quote, which should be stored in your system for future status enquiries. This identifier is then used as an input for the Rating Factors API.
Technical overview – getIQRating Factors
The Price Estimate – Get Rating Factors API can be accessed using the GET method at getIQRatingFactors. It uses REST-based HTTP integration as the transfer protocol.
The examples show the basic steps for creating a Rating Factors service, using default settings where possible.
You can access the complete list of environment URLs on the getting started page.
Authentication
API requests are secured using HTTP basic authentication. To learn more about how we manage authentication, head to the security model section on the getting started page.
Field reference – request
This API does not have request fields because it uses the GET HTTP method. The UUID is a mandatory URL parameter to get a quote summary.
You’ll need to apply mandatory REST request headers in addition to above. You can find the full list on the getting started page.
