API basics

  • The Axle API is built on RESTful principles.
  • The API operates over HTTPS to ensure the security of data being transferred.
  • All requests and responses are sent in JSON.

Environments

https://api.axle.insure

Authentication

All Axle API requests are authenticated using an client-id and client-secret (API key) pairing sent in the request headers.

  • x-client-id — unique identifier for client
  • x-client-secret — api key for client (sensitive)
Contact the Axle team to acquire these keys.

When making API requests, API keys must match the base URL environment (see above), otherwise a 401-Unauthorized response code will be returned.
