Added
Bound Coverage Premiums Now Available
9 months ago by Root Insurance
We have now exposed premiumInCents for each coverage on our get_policy endpoint! This extra attribute is not available on through the quoting flow, but only for bound policies.
What's Changed
When a GET is called to the bind_api/v3/policies/policy/{policy_id} endpoint, each coverage object will contain one more additional field: premiumInCents
Note: the sum ofpremiumInCentson coverages may not always equal thetotalPremiumfor a policy due to endorsements or rounding. ThepremiumInCentsis the cost of a currently bound particular coverage for the full duration of the policy term - regardless of when that coverage was added or modified; thetotalPremiumis the prorated written premium on the policy. Care should be taken to explain these numbers to prevent confusion.
A truncated example output is below:
{
"policy": {
...,
"coverages": {
"policy": [
{
"attributes": [...],
...,
"premiumInCents": 0,
"symbol": "umpd"
},
{
"attributes": [...],
...,
"premiumInCents": 2000,
"symbol": "umuim"
}
],
"vehicles": [
{
"vin": "1GNKRJKD8EJ204803",
"coverages": [
{
"attributes": [...],
...,
"premiumInCents": 36000,
"symbol": "bi"
},
...
]
}
]
}
}
...
},

}
How to use it
