New Feature Release: platform support & destination clients

The Axle team is rolling out support for platform partners, who can now scalably offer Axle’s insurance verification services to their customers.

Platforms can manage their customers’ Axle integrations via the new destination clients feature. This includes the ability to create destination clients and call other Axle APIs on their behalf.

To learn more, check out the new Axle for Platforms guide.

  • Add null type support for individual fields in Account and Policy response objects to improve data transparency and actionability
    • Individual fields will return null values when:
      • The carrier data source supports the field, but no information is present for the selected Account or Policy.
      • The carrier data source does not support that field.
    • Optional fields, such as Policy.coverages["BI"].property or Policy.coverages["UMPD"].deductible may return null or undefined
      • null - The carrier data source supports the field, but no information is present for the selected Account or Policy.
      • undefined - The carrier data source supports the field and data is available that specifies that the field does not exist on the Account or Policy.
    • Example Policy:
{
	"...",
	"policyNumber": "123456789",
	"isActive": true,
	"effectiveDate": null,
	"expirationDate": "2023-10-22T04:00:00.000Z",
	"address": {
		"addressLine1": "123 Main St.",
		"addressLine2": null,
		"city": "New York",
		"state": "NY",
		"postalCode": "10014",
		"country": "US",
	},
	"coverages": [
		{
            "code": "PD",
            "label": "Property Damage",
            "limitPerAccident": null, // No information was available from carrier data source
            "deductible": undefined, // The carrier data source specifies that here is no deductible present for this coverage
            "property": "prp_83sD63h82bbeu2Dgn"
        },
		"..."
	],
	"..."
}
  • Clarification
    • Policy.insureds.type is an optional field, and therefore should be used for display purposes only. The Axle team is working on refining this field to add more specificity and accuracy.
    • Policy.thirdParties.type has a default value of interest. If you do not find a thirdParty of type lienholder or lessor on the policy, the data source may not have specified this classifiation.
