AccessPOORApp registration is sales-gated through the Zywave Admin tool; there is no self-serve developer signup.
CoverageGOODAPIs span personal lines and benefits quoting, policy sync, accounts and contacts, content, lead insights, and benchmarking.
AuthGOODOAuth 2.0 authorization code flow against auth.zywave.com, with scopes constrained per registered app.
Docs & DXPOORDocs straddle two generations: v2.x calls need special Profile headers while v3.x drops them; conventions conflict.
StabilityMIXEDTwo API generations, v2.x and v3.x, run in parallel with different request conventions to maintain.
Supergood: Zywave has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
