LexisNexis Risk Solutions

LexisNexis Risk Solutions is the risk-data and analytics arm of RELX, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, and one of the small number of intermediaries that sit between United States property and casualty carriers and the distribution channel. In insurance it does not underwrite risk; it sells the contributory databases and scores that carriers rate against — C.L.U.E. Auto claims history, Current Carrier prior-coverage verification, Motor Vehicle Records across all fifty states, Driver Discovery undisclosed-driver detection, InsurView public-records attributes and VIN Services vehicle data — alongside telematics exchange, data prefill, fraud detection, claims and life-insurance underwriting products. Because the United States has no federal insurance regulator and no open-insurance mandate, value in this market accrued to exactly this layer rather than to the carriers, and LexisNexis Risk reaches its customers through carrier policy-administration and rating systems (a Guidewire PolicyCenter marketplace listing for Motor Vehicle Records is the visible example) rather than through an open API. Its API posture reflects that: a real first-party developer portal exists at developer.lexisnexisrisk.com, built on SwaggerHub Portal, and it publicly enumerates six insurance API products with descriptions — but every product page redirects an anonymous visitor to a session-expired login screen. No OpenAPI or Swagger definition, no base URL, no scopes, no webhook catalog and no Postman collection are published to the open web. Access is contract-first and partner-gated; the six entries below are recorded as named, first-party-documented API products whose reference documentation is behind authentication.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles LexisNexis Risk Solutions the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 7 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 — LexisNexis Risk Solutions scores 39.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 16/100 (agent aware). 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 LexisNexis Risk Solutions

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for LexisNexis Risk Solutions. 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 7

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.

Security Posture 4

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.
