Aflac

Aflac is America's leading provider of supplemental insurance, paying benefits when a policyholder has an accident, illness, or injury. Aflac runs its own integration-API platform, Aflac Enterprise Connect (AEC), on AWS API Gateway in front of Java and .NET services, and publishes the platform's design rules openly at docs.enterprise-connect.aflac.com: a layered service taxonomy (experience, process, core, system, aspect), a strict resource-path grammar, a mandated general-response envelope, a mandatory health endpoint on every API, and a complete enterprise canonical data model (EDS v2020, roughly 90 canonicals across 20 libraries). The portal is written for Aflac application teams, not outside partners: the service catalog, Swagger console and spec builder sit behind a PingIdentity login, OAuth 2.0 client-credentials is the only supported authentication, and credentials are issued by internal request. The design documentation is public; the contracts and endpoints are not.

Aflac publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Claims API, Eligibility API, Enrollment API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Fortune 500, Insurance, Supplemental Insurance, Employee Benefits, and Claims.

The Aflac catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Aflac’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, signup flow, support, engineering blog, code examples, sandbox, and 61 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aflac: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
