Introduction

This guide introduces Yasmina’s Comprehensive Motor Insurance APIs for Multiple Insurance Providers (for the single-provider version, click here). These APIs enable you to retrieve quotes from several insurance companies before issuing a policy to your customer. The guide covers all key operations, including requesting quotes, issuing and managing policies, generating payment links, and handling claims. Our APIs are built on RESTful principles and follow consistent input and output structures, making them simple to integrate, test, and maintain within your systems

​
What you will learn

  • Requesting and managing quotes
  • Issuing and managing policies
  • Starting a claim

​
Prerequisites

  1. Account in Yasmina - See the Onboarding section for details. You need to add “Comprehensive Motor Insurance (Multiple Providers)” in the products field.
  2. Authenticated Token - Follow the Authentication guide to generate one.
  3. Backend server - Required to securely call Yasmina APIs.

​
Quotes

Quotes represent the different premiums, benefits, and deductibles offered by insurance providers. Before issuing a Comprehensive Motor Insurance policy, you need to provide the car details to retrieve quotes from various insurance providers. These quotes are then used when issuing the policy.

​
Request Quotes

In order to provide quotes for your customer you need to execute the Request Quotes API. This API provides an array response from different insurance providers. Each item in this array, represents the name of the company, the logo, the different premiums and deductibles, and also the list of benefits (both free and paid).
The Request Quotes API may take longer to respond because it retrieves results from multiple insurance providers. Be sure to increase your timeout to at least 2 minutes before making the request.
You need to provider the following properties for the Request Quotes API

​
Explaining the Quotes Request response

The ID value represents Yasmina’s unique identifier for this quote request. You will later need to provide in the Issue policy API as quote_id The Quote reference ID must also be provided to the Issue Policy API as quote_reference_id. Each insurance provider has its own quote_reference_id. Each insurance provider gives a prices array. This represents different pricing options. Each has its own deductible and total. You will need to provide quote_price_id when issuing a policy. Finally we have the benefits array. We have two types. Some require an additional price and are optional (amount > 0), while others are considered free and are automatically added (amount = 0). For those that have a price, you need to provide the quote_benefit_id in the benefits array in the Issue Policy API.

​
List Quotes Requests

You can list a paginated list of all the quote requests that your account has generated. In order to do so, you can use the List quote requests API You can filter these by using owner_id in the query string. This may be useful in case your customer navigated from one page to another and you need to show the quote requests again (rather than making a new request) Example: GET /car-api-reference/quotes/list-quotes?page=2&per_page=1&owner_id=1234567890

​
Delete Quotes Requests

You can delete some of the requests from the system using the Delete Quotes Requests API. This is rarely used, but may be helpful if you’d like to reduce the items listed.

​
Issue policy

In order to Issue a policy. You can head to the Issue Policy API You need to use the fields that were retrieved in the Request Quotes API.
FieldDescription

quote_reference_idThe unique reference ID provided by the insurance company. Required when issuing a policy.
quote_price_idThe selected price option ID. Each quote has multiple prices with different deductibles.
benefitsA list of selected benefit IDs. Only required if the benefit has a cost (amount > 0).
extra_dataOptional JSON object to store additional metadata or custom values that can later be used in webhooks. Please keep minimal as it can’t exceed 255 characters
Example of a request 
POST /api/v1/car-comp/policies HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer *****
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Content-Length: 212

{
  "quote_request_id": 11,
  "quote_reference_id": "04486448-3433-43ef-a755-b07799d6580f",
  "quote_price_id": "e059d28e-a519-43af-b9d4-e1cc5d97ecb7",
  "benefits": [],
  "extra_data": {
      "extra_field": 1
  }
}
Once you make a request to the Issue Policy API, you will get the Policy object with a 201 HTTP response code. Here is an example of the Policy object. 
{
    "id": 700,
    "meta_data": {
        "extra_data": null,
        "new_owner_id": "2528297837",
        "quote_price_id": "f5d52340-3661-48af-b81a-028f251ef6a9",
        "quote_request_id": 25,
        "previous_owner_id": "7001364939",
        "car_sequence_number": 723787810
    },
    "provider_policy_id": null,
    "provider_policy": null,

    "status": 0,
    "payment_link": "http://localhost:8000/short/wVln4",
    "price": 6016
}
This is a summary of the fields returned in the policy object
FieldDescription

meta_dataA JSON object that contains information about the fields that were used to generate this policy. extra_data will also be returned here.
provider_policy_idThe policy ID that is returned by the policy provider.
provider_policyA URL that contains the policy in PDF format.
created_atWhen was the policy issued.
status0 = Pending, 1 = Issued.
`payment_linkA secure payment link generated by Yasmina
priceThe price of the policy in Saudi Riyal

​
Understanding Payment and Policy activation

When you first make a request to the Issue Policy API. The Policy is not yet activated and the status is 0 (which means pending). Also the provider_policy and provider_policy_id will both be null. In order for the policy to be activated, the customer needs to make the purchase from the payment link. Once the customer successfully pays. The policy will be activated and the status becomes 1.
Although the payment page is provided by Yasmina, it does not display the Yasmina logo or have any mention of Yasmina.

Yasmina does not receive credit card information, instead the payment page sends card information directly to the payment vendor.
On Staging and Sandbox, you can use a testing card with the following information:
Card number: 4111 1111 1111 1111
Expiry: 02/27
CVV: 123
Card owner: Yasmina test

​
Showing a policy

In order to get a status of a policy, you can use the Show Policy API. This API, takes a Yasmina Policy id and will return the policy object This API is ideal when you want to re-fetch a specific policy after the PDF gets generated. Example of a request 
GET /api/v1/car-comp/policies/123 HTTP/1.1
Host: portal.yasmina.ai
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
Example a response
