Generate an Ignition session. Returns an ignitionToken and ignitionUri to direct the user to share their insurance information. The ignition session will never expire.

Start Ignition

Indicates whether the operation was performed successfully.

Success

User to attach to Ignition session. This object is used to identify the user that is associated with the Ignition session, enabling consolidated metrics, easy matching for webhook events, and upcoming features.

Your application's unique, public user id. If a public id is not available, it is recommended to encrypt any unique user identifier (e.g., email or username) to create a public id.

Rate limit exceeded. This is only to protect Axle systems against errant or abnormal request volume. The limit is sufficiently high for all normal usage.

Axle

Axle is a universal API for insurance data. With Axle, companies can instantly verify insurance and monitor ongoing coverage, helping them create a frictionless experience for their users and reduce operational risk through better-informed decisions. Axle is backed by leading investors including Google and Y Combinator.

Welcome

At Axle, security and privacy are at the forefront of everything we do. We leverage the latest in cloud infrastructure and weave secure-by-design and privacy-by-design principles into our engineering DNA.

Security

Axle's powerful API makes it easy for you to quickly retrieve detailed information from your users' insurance policies. Here at Axle, we're champions for consumer data control and privacy, so you'll need to gain consent from the user to access their information.

Quickstart

Integrate Axle's API into your platform, to provide instant insurance verification solutions for your customers.

Axle for Platforms

Evaluate a set of Rules against a policy to determine if your application's requirements are met.

Policy Validation

The Axle sandbox can be used to test your integration of Axle's API in your application or platform. All Axle API endpoints can access the sandbox environment.

Status

This guide will help you understand how to display Axle's Ignition session to your users.

Initialize

This guide will walk you through the various events that occur during an Ignition session.

Events

Receive proactive notifications for updates to an insurance policy, such as policy cancellation or change in coverages.

This guide will walk you through the various Account events that may occur when monitoring an insurance account.

Account events

This guide will walk you through the various Policy events that may occur when monitoring an insurance policy.

Policy events

Exchange an authorization code returned by an `ignition.completed` event for an access token. Follow the [Quickstart](/guides/quickstart) or see [Ignition Events](/guides/ignition-events) for more details.

Auth codes are single-use and expire after 10 minutes, while accessTokens do not expire.

Exchange Token

Reduce scope for a specified access token. For example, de-scoping `monitoring` will disable Axle monitoring and you will no longer receive notifiations on Account or Policy events.

Descope Token

An Account represents an account with an insurance carrier and includes high-level account information (e.g. name) and any Policy objects associated with the Account.

The Account object

The Get Account endpoint will return an Account object including high-level account information (e.g., connection status) and any children objects (e.g., Policies) associated with the Account.
Please note that this endpoint will NOT refresh the Account object with new data from the insurance carrier.

Get Account

A Policy represents a specific policy associated with an Account and includes high-level policy information (e.g. policy number) and any children objects (e.g., coverages) associated with the policy.

The Policy object

This page provides additional detail about the Axle Schema's insurance coverage types and highlights key rules and checks used to ensure accurate data. Coverages are provided through the `coverages` array in Policy objects.


Coverages

The Get Policy endpoint returns a Policy object. Please refer to the [Policy](/api-reference/policies/policy) object for a detailed description of each field.
Please note that this endpoint will NOT refresh the Policy object with new data from the insurance carrier.
