description: 'bswift is a benefits administration platform used by employers, brokers
  and channel partners to run health and welfare benefits — eligibility, annual enrollment,
  life events, COBRA, billing and ACA compliance — with an AI assistant (Emma) layered
  over the employee experience. Founded in Chicago in 2000, bswift was acquired by
  Aetna in 2014, moved into CVS Health, and has operated as an independent company
  backed by Francisco Partners since the 2022 carve-out. It runs a large connectivity
  estate: 450+ active carrier file feeds, 300+ pre-built and API integrations, and
  150+ API and SSO connections into HCM and payroll platforms including ADP, UKG, Paylocity
  and Workday. Its production API gateway is live at api.bswift.com, but the REST contract
  — along with the OpenAPI specs, sandbox environments and webhook event topics bswift
  describes publicly — is issued only to alliance, integration and channel partners;
  there is no public developer portal or API reference.'

  description: 'bswift''s partner-facing REST API, served from an AWS API Gateway at
    api.bswift.com. bswift publicly describes API coverage for demographics and employment
    data, with lifecycle domains (plan, rate, enrollment) plus standardized schemas,
    OpenAPI specs, sandbox environments and event-driven webhook subscriptions as
    active investments. Every route on the gateway answers MISSING_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN
    without partner credentials; the contract is not published.'

  detail: api.bswift.com is a live AWS API Gateway whose /ping route returns 200 "healthy",
    but every functional route answers MISSING_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN and the only public
    path to the OpenAPI specs, sandbox and webhook topics bswift says it ships is the
    Partnership Opportunities contact form — bswift runs no developer portal, docs
    host or API reference anywhere on bswift.com.
