Introduction to Herald👋

Herald connects you to multiple carriers through a single API. Our Guides will teach you about our core concepts and walk you through everything needed to get quotes from carriers. You can also access our Quickstart Guide and API reference in our reference documentation.

‍ The guide to authenticating is in our API Reference.

How it works

To set up with Herald, you need to authenticate your platform and add producers. Each producer has to be connected to individual products.

Once you're set up, you can create applications. Applications are specific to a product (or set of products) and the set of information a carrier requires to get a quote for that product. Once every question has been answered, you'll have a complete application that you can submit to carriers. A submission requires the completed application, and an associated producer that has access to those products. Making a submission sends the application to each carrier to create a quote, and provides you with an ID for each product. Finally, you can get a quote for each individual product.
