Frequently asked questions
Openly scores D on the API Report Card. Openly runs a partner-only API: larger agencies can build front ends against its backend, and comparative raters like EZLynx and PL Rating integrate for quoting. There is no public developer portal, API reference, or self-serve onboarding; access is negotiated per agency.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

No public developer portal or documented API reference, API integrations are partner-negotiated rather than self-serve. Comparative-rater integrations (EZLynx, PL Rating) often surface a baseline quote but require agents to bounce into Openly's native portal to customize coverages and bind, creating dual-entry friction.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Openly API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Openly data. See the Openly integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/openly-api.
