Insurance Council of Australia

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) is the representative body for Australia's general insurance industry, whose members write approximately 90% of total premium income for private sector general insurers and reinsurers, spanning home and contents, motor, travel, liability, professional indemnity, commercial property and directors and officers lines. The ICA administers the General Insurance Code of Practice, issues catastrophe and significant event declarations, operates the member Data Hub that reports claim counts, incurred losses and closed rates for declared events, and advocates on resilience, climate risk, building standards and insurance affordability. It is a market body rather than a carrier — it sells no policies and exposes no quote, bind, issue or FNOL API. Its API posture is partner-gated with no public developer program: developer, developers, docs and api subdomains do not resolve, and /developers/, /developer/, /partners/ and /integrations/ all return 404. The only integration surface is the member portal at memberportal.insurancecouncil.com.au, an Azure AD B2C (OpenID Connect authorization code) login wall for member insurers. Catastrophe and resilience data is published as PDF reports and a downloadable XLSX master file rather than through an API, and no ACORD, AL3 or NGDS reference appears anywhere on the site — Australia's insurance data seam is the Consumer Data Right, which was designated for general insurance and then deferred.

Insurance Council of Australia is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, Australia, General Insurance, Industry Association, and Property and Casualty.

Insurance Council of Australia’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, support, YouTube channel, and 25 more developer resources.

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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/insurance-council-australia/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/insurance-council-australia to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Australia AFS, Credit and ADI Registers (ASIC + APRA licensing)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
