Whitespace Platform API is published by [Whitespace](https://apis.io/providers/whitespace-london/) on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Insurance, Placing, Risks, Quotes, and Bind. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, and API documentation.

The Whitespace Platform API is a REST/JSON API over the full London-market subscription placing lifecycle, publicly described by an OpenAPI 3.0.0 document covering 113 endpoints across Risks, Data, Attachments, Documents, Activities, Comments, Labels, Lookup, Endorsements, Lines, Questionnaire, Summary, User and MI Report. It genuinely exposes QUOTE (quoteOnRequest, saveQuoteDetails, getQuoteDetails, showQuoteToBroker, declineQuoteRequest, markAsIndicative, notTakeUpQuotation) and BIND (createBindableQuote, draftToFirmOrder, markAsFirmOrder, writeLine, recordLine, requestWrittenLineSets, acceptWrittenLine, signSets, reSignSets) and ISSUE of the contract document (getExtendedMRC, export/pdf/{riskID}, documents/{docID}), plus post-bind endorsement handling. It does NOT cover FNOL or claims — Whitespace is a placing platform, not a claims system. The embedded Defined Data API (/api/v22.04/data and /api/v23.09/data) returns and verifies structured contract values tagged against MRC headings and an alternative ACORDGPM tagset. Documented servers are the Sandbox, Tess, Beta and Staging environments; production access is arranged separately with Whitespace Support. Authentication is HTTP bearer JWT using a service token issued by Whitespace Support to a contracted organisation, restricted to allowlisted IP addresses and expiring within one year — there is no self-serve key.
