Steps
Register for Herald API access and use the Developer Portal's Request Builder to assemble a submission request interactively before writing integration code.
Build one normalized application payload covering business classification, exposures, and coverage needs for the target line (e.g., GL, BOP, Workers' Comp, Cyber, Tech E&O).
Submit the application through Herald's unified quoting endpoint so it fans out to the carrier markets configured for the account.
Poll or subscribe to status updates for each carrier's quote as responses return asynchronously.
Compare returned quotes (premium, limits, forms) and select a market to proceed toward bind.
Known gotchas
Herald aggregates many carriers behind one schema — not every carrier supports every field, so expect partial or null responses for carrier-specific options.
Available lines of business and carrier panels are account-specific; confirm the program's configured appetite before assuming a given carrier is reachable.
Herald ships a changelog roughly every two weeks — pin an API version rather than always integrating against the latest schema.
