Legal & General
Legal & General Group plc is a FTSE 100 United Kingdom life insurer, retirement and institutional asset manager headquartered in London and regulated by the FCA and PRA. Its lines of business are life and protection insurance (term life, critical illness, income protection), workplace and individual pensions, annuities and bulk-purchase annuity/pension risk transfer, equity release through Legal & General Home Finance, and asset management through Legal & General Investment Management. It is a life and health carrier rather than a general insurer, and it distributes almost entirely through regulated intermediaries — financial advisers, mortgage brokers and employee-benefit consultants — rather than direct-to-developer. Its API posture reflects that distribution model honestly: Legal & General publishes NO public, self-serve developer portal, no public API reference, and no downloadable OpenAPI or Swagger definition. No developer.legalandgeneral.com, developers, docs, or api subdomain resolves in DNS, and /developers, /api, /developer, /partners and /integrations all return HTTP 404 on the primary site. Every documented Legal & General API is a bilateral, partner-gated integration announced by the counterparty rather than published by Legal & General — real-time equity release quotation, KFI and application APIs wired into Iress "The Exchange", Air Sourcing and the Advise Wise platform, a Mortgage Club integration with Kensington Mortgages, and adviser-facing protection quote-and-apply through OLP Connect. Adviser identity and messaging run on the UK's Origo rails — Unipass digital certificates, Unipass Letter of Authority and Origo Track My Apps — which is the UK life and pensions analogue of ACORD; no ACORD, AL3, ACORD XML or NGDS reference appears anywhere in Legal & General's public surface. The only public Legal & General code is the Canopy design system on GitHub — an Apache-2.0 Angular component library shipped through GitHub Packages, with dated semver release notes, a published breaking-change policy, a repository security policy, and 84 installable agent skills (69 component best-practice skills and 15 per-major migration skills) that work with GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor. That makes Legal & General agent-native on the front end and completely closed on the API. This record exists to measure that split accurately: a large carrier whose integration surface is entirely intermediary-gated and invisible from outside a login wall.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Legal & General the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Legal & General scores 27.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 4/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Legal & General
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Legal & General. 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 2
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Legal & General, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
