  title: Herald Applications Submissions API
  description: Herald is a unified REST API for commercial insurance. A single integration lets software platforms create applications, submit them to many carriers, and retrieve normalized quotes, products, classifications, distributors, producers, and files. Requests are authenticated with an OAuth2 client-credentials bearer token; an API key may also be supplied directly as a bearer token. The API is resource-oriented with JSON request and response bodies and standard HTTP status codes.
