PPL
PPL (Placing Platform Limited) is the London Market's not-for-profit electronic placing platform, incorporated in England and Wales in 2013 and trading since the first risk was bound on the platform in July 2016. Owned collectively by the market it serves, PPL lets brokers and carriers quote, negotiate, bind and renew open-market (re)insurance risks electronically across almost all classes of business written in London, and is used by roughly 200 carriers and 200 broking firms. It is market infrastructure rather than a carrier or a broker - it writes no insurance and carries no risk - and it is one of the accredited placing platforms underpinning Lloyd's Blueprint Two, generating the Core Data Record for bound business. Its API posture is unusual for insurance and genuinely good: the PPL Next Gen API Developer Portal at developer.pplnextgen.com is publicly readable and publishes a real API catalogue of five REST collections - Organisations, Placements, Submissions, Documents and Events - each with a downloadable OpenAPI 3.0 document and a Postman collection, built on REST standards and the ACORD GRLC (Global Reinsurance and Large Commercial) data model. Actually calling the APIs is market-gated rather than self-serve: consumers must be onboarded by PPL, subscribe to LIMOSS API Common Services, be guested into the Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) tenant of the LIMOSS API Gateway, and register an X.509 certificate per environment. The surface covers quote and bind (submission negotiation, contract negotiation, participations, firm order) and contract issuance via the Market Reform Contract document set; there is no claims or FNOL API, and no webhook or event-push surface - the Events API is pull-based.
PPL publishes 13 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Contract API, Document API, Health API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Insurance, United Kingdom, London Market, Lloyd’s of London, and Reinsurance.
PPL’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, getting-started guide, documentation, API reference, signup flow, support, and 37 more developer resources.
