Sonnet Insurance

Sonnet Insurance is a Canadian direct-to-consumer digital property and casualty insurer launched in 2016 and a member of the Definity family of companies, underwriting its own auto, home, condo, tenant, landlord and pet policies through Sonnet Insurance Company. It sells auto, home, condo, tenant and landlord coverage in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and home-only coverage in British Columbia and Alberta, positioning itself as "Canada's original digital-first home and auto insurance company" with a fully online quote-and-buy flow and licensed agents for support. Sonnet is an explicit direct writer -- its own FAQ states that "a third party -- even a licensed broker -- cannot purchase a Sonnet policy on your behalf" -- so it operates no broker or agency distribution channel and therefore no ACORD/AL3 agency-download path. Its API posture is closed -- no developer, developers, docs or api subdomain resolves in DNS, every first-party developer path probed returns HTTP 404, and no OpenAPI, Swagger, GraphQL, Postman collection, webhook catalog or partner technical onboarding surface is published. The only third-party integrations Sonnet describes -- the Kanetix.ca (RATESDOTCA) quote-and-buy partnership and the Sonnet Connect brand referral program -- are privately negotiated commercial arrangements with no public technical documentation. Two machine-readable surfaces do exist and are captured here. Sonnet serves a real llms.txt at www.sonnet.ca/llms.txt that declares per-agent AI-Training, AI-Generation, AI-Summarization and AI-Crawling directives (Allow for OpenAI, Google-DeepMind and Anthropic) alongside a curated reference-content index -- an AI consent signal rather than an API contract. And the secure.sonnet.ca quote-and-buy application is driven by an undocumented first-party REST/JSON surface under /api/v1 covering quoting, binding, policy servicing, payments and identity; it is observable from Sonnet's own public JavaScript bundle but carries no documentation, no specification and no third-party terms of use, so it is recorded as observed evidence, not as an integratable API.

Sonnet Insurance is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Insurance, Canada, Property and Casualty, Auto Insurance, and Home Insurance.

Sonnet Insurance’s developer surface includes engineering blog, YouTube channel, support, FAQ, signup flow, product news, and 20 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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/.
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 github.com/api-evangelist/sonnet-insurance: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
