Convex

Convex Group Limited is an international specialty insurer and reinsurer founded in 2019 by Stephen Catlin and Paul Brand, headquartered in London with operations in Bermuda, Luxembourg, Guernsey and the United States. Convex writes complex commercial and specialty risk across property, casualty, marine, energy, aviation, cyber, political risk and credit, crisis management, accident and health, and equine/livestock/aquaculture, and writes property, casualty and specialty treaty reinsurance through Convex Re Limited in Bermuda and London. Convex Insurance UK Limited is authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the FCA and PRA; it is a London company-market carrier rather than a Lloyd's syndicate, and it reported roughly $5.2bn of gross written premium in 2024. Convex operates a named Digital Underwriting function that publicly describes building "a suite of insurance specific APIs" for automated quote and bind on high-volume, low-complexity specialty books, delivered either through a Convex-hosted broker portal or by connecting Convex products into a broker's or client's existing portal via API. That API programme is real but entirely partner-gated: as of 2026-07-25 Convex publishes no public developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI or other machine- readable definition, no sandbox and no self-serve signup. The api.convexin.com host is live but answers every anonymous request with HTTP 401 Unauthorized, the digital.convexin.com broker application is an authenticated Unqork-hosted portal, and the Convex Quick Quote event-insurance surface is behind a broker account registration form. Integration is arranged through the Business Development team, not through documentation. No ACORD, AL3, NGDS or IVANS reference appears anywhere on Convex's public web presence.

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 Convex the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Convex scores 19.5/100 (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 Convex

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Convex. 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 1

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.

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.
