Acturis

Acturis is a United Kingdom insurance software company founded in 2000 by David McDonald and Theo Duchen, operating the UK's leading multi-tenant SaaS platform for general insurance brokers, insurers and MGAs. The Acturis system covers commercial and personal lines broking, e-trade and digital distribution, policy administration, claims, document management, premium finance and accounting, and it builds and runs eight of the top ten UK insurer extranets. Acturis Group extends the platform into Germany, France and Canada (through the acquisitions of Power Broker and Brovada) and reports over 100,000 users across more than 40 countries. Its API posture is partner-gated and honestly not developer-facing: acturis.com markets an "API-enabled platform" and "API capabilities" but publishes no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI or Swagger definition, and no self-serve onboarding. developer.acturis.com, developers.acturis.com, docs.acturis.com and api.acturis.com do not resolve, and /developers, /api, /developer and /integrations all return 404. Real integration happens through commercial agreements — insurer extranet and e-trade connections, the Polaris imarket digital-trading standards Acturis has traded on since 2005, and named bilateral work such as the Aviva claims Broker API launched in December 2024, which brokers enable through an Aviva Claims Service Manager or an Acturis Account Manager rather than through any public signup.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Acturis the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Acturis scores 15.8/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Acturis

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Acturis. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
