Frequently asked questions
Verisk scores F on the API Report Card. Verisk publishes multiple REST API surfaces (underwriting via gateway.verisk.com, claims, weather analytics, Sequel, FAST) documented in a public API catalog. Access is enterprise-gated: OAuth2 credentials come from a client services rep, with no self-serve signup.
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.
Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ: VRSK) is the leading US insurance data, analytics, and software utility, headquartered in Jersey City, NJ with roots going back to 1971 when 35 separate state and regional insurance rating bureaus were consolidated into the Insurance Services Office (ISO).
Primary vertical: Financial Services / Insurance. A US homeowners carrier writes a new policy: the agent's quoting system calls Verisk PPC for the property's fire-protection class, A-PLUS for prior loss history, LightSpeed or PropX for property characteristics prefill, ISO ERC for the rating algorithm and policy forms, and the AIR Touchstone model for catastrophe exposure attribution before binding.
Extremely high, Verisk is closer to industry infrastructure than to a typical SaaS vendor. ISO rate filings and policy forms are the foundation of US commercial-lines pricing in most states.
Verisk APIs and platforms sit directly on the critical path of US insurance: rating, binding, policy issuance, FNOL, fraud screening, claims estimating, catastrophe exposure, and reinsurance modeling.
ISO traces to 1971; Verisk Analytics is the 2008 holding company that IPO'd in 2009. Xactware was founded 1986 and acquired in 2006; AIR Worldwide was founded 1987 and acquired in 2002; Sequel was acquired in 2017; FAST was acquired in 2019.
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.
