Beazley
Beazley plc is a London-headquartered specialty insurer and one of the largest managing agents at Lloyd's of London, underwriting through Lloyd's syndicates alongside US admitted and surplus lines carriers and a European company platform. Its book is specialty property and casualty — cyber and technology risks (where it is a global market leader), professional indemnity, management liability and directors and officers, marine, political risk, contingency, environmental, healthcare and property. Its home market is the United Kingdom, where there is no open-insurance mandate; the only market-wide data and API modernization effort is the Lloyd's Blueprint Two programme, and Beazley sat on the closed beta group that tested Lloyd's ACORD-based Core Data Record. Unusually for a carrier, Beazley operates a real first-party developer portal at developer.beazley.com — an Azure API Management portal with self-serve account signup, a publicly browsable catalog of 14 published APIs across nine families, sandbox environments, and machine-readable OpenAPI 3.0.1 for every one of them. The APIs are partner-and-broker oriented rather than consumer facing — risk and quote data capture into Beazley's core Record of Risk systems, broker and insured marketing data, compliance validation, currency exchange, a cyber rater, and insurance-terms reference data. Every API is behind an Azure APIM subscription key and every product carries approvalRequired, so browsing and spec download are open but actually calling the gateway requires Beazley to approve the subscription. There is no ACORD, AL3 or IVANS reference anywhere in the portal or the specs, no webhook or event catalog, no GraphQL, and no bind, issue or FNOL endpoint — bind is done by brokers through the gated myBeazley quote-and-bind portal, not through the public API surface. Beazley is subject to a recommended all-cash offer from Zurich Insurance Group announced 2 March 2026.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Beazley the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, 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 — Beazley scores 53.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 72/100 (agent native). 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 Beazley
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Beazley. 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.
APIs 9
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

MCP SERVERPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Beazley Plans
PLANSRate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 3
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
