QBE Insurance
QBE Insurance Group Limited is a Sydney-headquartered, ASX-listed global general insurance and reinsurance group, tracing back to 1886 in Townsville, Queensland, and operating today across Australia Pacific, North America and International divisions including a Lloyd's of London syndicate. QBE writes commercial and personal property and casualty lines — property, liability, motor and compulsory third party (CTP), workers compensation, marine, aviation, trade credit, crop and specialty — distributed overwhelmingly through brokers and agents rather than direct to consumers. Its API posture reflects that distribution model and is partner-gated by design: QBE Australia runs a real, publicly browsable Azure API Management developer portal at connect.api-au.qbe.com whose catalogue, operations, schemas and examples can be read anonymously, but every product requires an approved subscription (approvalRequired true) and the broker API is keyed to named partner platforms. The portal exposes genuine quote, bind, endorse, renew, cancel and refer operations for the commercial policy lifecycle — the four real insurance verbs, minus claims/FNOL, which QBE does not expose publicly. A separate QBE North America partner API hub at partnerportal-api.qbena.com serves an empty Azure APIM catalogue to anonymous callers but does publish seven named API products in its own content pages — Quote, Bind, Master Liability, Property Inquiry, Zip Code Validate and Reconciliation and Cancellation for Renters, plus Quote for Homeowners — behind a documented client-id/secret to JWT token exchange; no endpoints or specs are exposed. QBE Hong Kong documents a partner API behind qbe.com pages that are bot-blocked to anonymous fetchers. Australia is the home market; the Consumer Data Right was designated for general insurance and then deferred, so nothing here is compelled by regulation.
QBE Insurance publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including CTP Switch API, Digital Brokers API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Insurance, Australia, Property and Casualty, Commercial Insurance, and Underwriting.
The QBE Insurance catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
QBE Insurance’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, sandbox, and 29 more developer resources.
Kin Score
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) | covered | 17.2 (thin) | - | - |
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.
