Urban Jungle

Urban Jungle Services Ltd is a London-based direct-to-consumer insurtech, founded in 2016 by Jimmy Williams and Greg Smyth to sell home insurance to "Generation Rent" — renters, sharers and students the traditional UK market underserves. It is an FCA-authorised intermediary (FRN 782061, company number 10414152, England and Wales) and a certified B Corp, selling contents, buildings and contents, students contents, tenants liability, landlord, home emergency and public liability cover through its own digital journey at myurbanjungle.com, and claiming over 100,000 customers. Its API posture is partner-gated and undocumented in public. Urban Jungle announced a partnership programme and quote API in 2018, positioned so lettings agents, PropTech firms, institutional landlords and eCommerce sites can serve Urban Jungle quotes inside their own apps without being directly FCA-regulated themselves, but there is no developer portal, no reference documentation, no machine- readable specification and no self-serve signup. The only route in is a partnerships email address on a marketing page. No ACORD, AL3 or NGDS reference appears anywhere on the company's site or in its front-end bundles.

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 Urban Jungle 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 — Urban Jungle scores 18.9/100 (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.

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.
