Open

Open Insurance Pty Limited (ABN 23 166 949 444, AFSL 451712), trading as Open, is an Australian insurtech and underwriting agency that packages car, home and contents, landlord and travel cover as an embedded product other brands can sell. Open is not a carrier — it holds a binding authority from the insurer, acts as the insurer's agent to issue, vary, renew and cancel policies and to handle claims, and appoints partner brands as authorised representatives. Huddle Insurance is a business name of Open, and partner programs include Bupa and the SuperSaveClub marketplace; the business also operates in the United Kingdom and New Zealand from its Australian home market. Its API posture is real but narrow and partner-gated. Open runs a public, unauthenticated ReadMe developer hub at developers.beopen.com covering the Open.js browser SDK, the Open.Widget embed and a URL-handover redirect, plus exactly one documented server-side REST operation — POST /v1/policy/coc, Retrieve a Certificate of Currency — for which a real OpenAPI 3.0.3 definition is published. Quote is only prepared and polled through the SDK; bind, issue, policy servicing and claims all happen inside Open's hosted (optionally white-labelled) journey rather than over an API, and there is no public FNOL, webhook, GraphQL or Postman surface. API keys and secrets are issued by Open at partner account creation — there is no self-serve signup — and no ACORD, AL3 or NGDS reference appears anywhere on the site or in the documentation.

Open publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Certificate of Currency API. Tagged areas include Insurance, Australia, Insurtech, Embedded Insurance, and Property and Casualty.

Open’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, status page, developer portal, getting-started guide, support, and 30 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.

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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/open-insurance: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?

  description: The single documented server-side REST operation on the Open Platform. POST /v1/policy/coc retrieves a Certificate
    of Currency for an existing policy directly from the insurer to validate cover, returning JSON or PDF. Credentials are
    an api_key / api_secret pair passed in the request body, issued by Open at partner account creation. The published OpenAPI
    3.0.3 definition declares the sandbox host https://api.sandbox.beopen.com; the production host https://api.beopen.com
    answers the same path (GET returns 405, POST only).

    opensdk.quote.load, opensdk.quote.prepare, opensdk.quote.portal, opensdk.quote.status, opensdk.quote.history, opensdk.magiclink
    and opensdk.manage.portal. It creates and pre-fills a quote and polls its status, then hands the customer to Open's hosted
    portal to complete purchase, manage the policy and claim — bind and issue are not exposed as API calls. The library defaults
    to the api.beopen.com backend (api.sandbox.beopen.com in sandbox) and portal.beopen.com, and is served from https://opensdk.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/opensdk-1.3.0.min.js.
    Sibling integration surfaces documented in the same hub are Open.Widget and a URL handover redirect.
