LexisNexis Risk Solutions is the risk-data and analytics arm of RELX, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, and one of the small number of intermediaries that sit between United States property and casualty carriers and the distribution channel. In insurance it does not underwrite risk; it sells the contributory databases and scores that carriers rate against — C.L.U.E. Auto claims history, Current Carrier prior-coverage verification, Motor Vehicle Records across all fifty states, Driver Discovery undisclosed-driver detection, InsurView public-records attributes and VIN Services vehicle data — alongside telematics exchange, data prefill, fraud detection, claims and life-insurance underwriting products. Because the United States has no federal insurance regulator and no open-insurance mandate, value in this market accrued to exactly this layer rather than to the carriers, and LexisNexis Risk reaches its customers through carrier policy-administration and rating systems (a Guidewire PolicyCenter marketplace listing for Motor Vehicle Records is the visible example) rather than through an open API. Its API posture reflects that: a real first-party developer portal exists at developer.lexisnexisrisk.com, built on SwaggerHub Portal, and it publicly enumerates six insurance API products with descriptions — but every product page redirects an anonymous visitor to a session-expired login screen. No OpenAPI or Swagger definition, no base URL, no scopes, no webhook catalog and no Postman collection are published to the open web. Access is contract-first and partner-gated; the six entries below are recorded as named, first-party-documented API products whose reference documentation is behind authentication.
LexisNexis Risk Solutions publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, United States, Risk Data, Property and Casualty, and Underwriting.
LexisNexis Risk Solutions’ developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, authentication, sandbox, and 32 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/.

description: LexisNexis Emailage is an email and IP address fraud-risk scoring API acquired by LexisNexis Risk Solutions
in 2020. It returns a real-time risk score and advice band for an email address and/or IP address, used in transaction
fraud screening. Unlike the six insurance products it has first-party client libraries published to public registries
(PyPI, RubyGems, NuGet) and maintained in the company GitHub organisation, and those libraries hard-code the production
and sandbox host names. No OpenAPI definition is published; credentials (Account SID plus auth token, signed with OAuth
1.0a HMAC-SHA256/384/512, or OAuth 2.0 client credentials) are issued under commercial contract.
