Aviva plc

Aviva plc is the United Kingdom's largest insurer and one of the ten biggest insurance groups in Europe, listed on the London Stock Exchange and serving roughly 20 million UK customers across the UK, Ireland and Canada following completion of its acquisition of Direct Line Insurance Group on 1 July 2025. Aviva is a composite carrier rather than a single-line one: UK and Ireland general insurance (personal and commercial motor, property and liability), the UK's largest life insurance book, a growing corporate and individual health business, workplace pensions and wealth, and Aviva Investors as the asset-management arm. Aviva Canada is that market's second-largest property and casualty insurer. Aviva's API posture is that of a carrier, not a platform. It operates a real, modern developer portal at developer.aviva.co.uk — a Kong Konnect portal fronted by Aviva's own EV certificate — but the portal reports is_public false with RBAC and OIDC authentication enabled, and every content path returns HTTP 403 to an unauthenticated request. It is explicitly a partner surface: the portal's own copy describes Partners discovering, accessing and consuming Aviva Health APIs, with sandbox access granted on application and production consumption granted on approval. There is no self-serve signup, no public API reference, no downloadable OpenAPI, no public Postman workspace, no GraphQL surface and no published event catalogue. The far larger integration channel is not the portal at all: in the UK, Aviva trades with brokers through Polaris UK's imarket and its PL EDI message and code-list standards, reaching broker systems such as Acturis, Applied Systems, Open GI, Bravo and SSP, and in December 2024 Aviva became the first insurer to launch a claims API integrated directly into Acturis, pushing new and updated motor, property and liability claim records into brokers' management systems. No ACORD reference was found on any Aviva surface; the UK's standards seam here is Polaris, not ACORD. This record is therefore an honest stub: a real but partner-gated API programme with no public self-serve surface to harvest.

Aviva plc publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, United Kingdom, Property and Casualty, Life Insurance, and Health Insurance.

Aviva plc’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, getting-started guide, support, developer portal, engineering blog, and 17 more developer resources.

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 could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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/aviva-plc: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
