Getting Started

The Trident APIs let you create and progress cyber insurance submissions through their full lifecycle — Base, Full, Quote, and Bind — and look up reference data used across the platform. Endpoints are grouped into: Submission, Quote, Policy, Document Upload to DMS, Lookups, Submission Data Extraction, and Admin/Develop.

Base URL

All API requests are sent to: https://trident-api.connecttrident.com

Authentication

All endpoints are secured using an API Key.

You must include the API key in every request header:

x-api-key: your_api_key_here

Requests without a valid API key are rejected with a 401 Unauthorized response. Every request also requires X-Origination-Source and X-Audit-UserId headers for traceability and audit purposes.

Supported Content Types

The APIs support the following content types:

• application/json
• UTF-8 encoded request bodies

Making Your First API Call

Below is a simple example demonstrating how to look up contacts by role code — a good first call because it only requires a GET request with query parameters.

curl -X GET "https://trident-api.connecttrident.com/lookup/contacts?roleCode=USR" \
  -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here" \
  -H "X-Origination-Source: S001xx" \
  -H "X-Audit-UserId: jsmith"

Example Response

{
  "total": 45,
  "item": [
    {
      "contactkey": 2000056,
      "contactreference": "Arasaiah, Bhaskara",
      "role": "Internal User",
      "rolecode": "USR"
    }
  ]
}

Once authentication is confirmed, continue with POST /submission/base to create your first draft submission.
