This page documents the data structures and conventions used across all V1 API endpoints.

Common Conventions

IDs

All entity identifiers are UUIDs (RFC 4122):

Timestamps

Timestamp conventions differ between the unified entity endpoints and the policy / task / file endpoints:
  • Unified entity endpoints (exposure, event, quote, submission, person, organization) return createdAt / updatedAt as epoch-second integers inside the entity envelope:
  • Policy versions/transactions, tasks, files, and reporting return timestamps such as transactionTimestamp, createdAt, and deadline as ISO 8601 strings in UTC:
Each entity’s overview page documents its exact response shape.

Dates

Date-only fields (startDate, endDate, effectiveDate, policyStartDate, policyEndDate) use ISO 8601 date format:

Nullable Fields

Fields that may be absent are typed as T | null. For example, policyId: string | null means the field is always present in the response but may be null.

Pagination

Pagination differs between the unified entity list endpoints and the notes / tasks / files list endpoints.

Unified entity list endpoints

The entity list endpoints (exposure, event, quote, submission, person, organization) return:
Query parameters:

Notes, tasks, and files

The notes, tasks, and company-files list endpoints use 1-based page / pageSize query parameters (page=1 is the first page). See each endpoint’s reference for its exact response shape.

fieldModelV1Data

Most V1 entities store their custom field data in a fieldModelV1Data object. The shape of this object is defined by your company’s field configuration — call the entity’s /configuration endpoint to discover available fields, types, and validation rules. Keys in fieldModelV1Data are field reference IDs (the stable identifiers you define when configuring fields).

Field Value Types

Date Fields

Date fields in fieldModelV1Data are represented as objects with individual components:
API parameters that accept dates directly (such as policyStartDate, effectiveDate, and other endpoint-level fields) use ISO 8601 date strings ("2026-01-15"), not the component object format. The component format is specific to custom field data inside fieldModelV1Data.

Option Set Fields

Option set values are stored as string keys (not labels). Use the /configuration endpoint to map keys to human-readable labels. Single-select:
Multi-select:
The configuration schema uses oneOf to enumerate valid options:

Configuration Schema

All entity types have a /configuration endpoint that returns a JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12) describing valid field data, wrapped under a top-level fields key:
For entities that embed exposures (Quote), the embedded exposure schema is nested under the corresponding join field (e.g. exposures) within the same fields schema, not returned as a separate top-level key. Calculated values, server-populated fields, and lifecycle fields are excluded.

Schema Format Values

The format property indicates the semantic type of a field:

Entities

Entity envelope

The unified entity endpoints (exposure, event, quote, submission, person, organization) all return the same generic envelope. All entity-specific field values live inside fieldModelV1Data, keyed by field referenceId — there is no top-level companyId, policyId, or submissionId. See the Entities overview for the parametric CRUD surface shared by every entity type (exposures, events, quotes, submissions, persons, organizations), and discover each type’s framework-required fields via its configuration endpoint.
Cross-entity links are expressed as Join fields inside fieldModelV1Data (for example quoteSubmission on a quote, or eventPolicy on an event), not as separate top-level keys. Calculated and lifecycle fields (e.g. quoteStatus, quoteNumber, submissionNumber) are resolver-populated and cannot be set via the API.
The /configuration response shape is documented under Configuration Schema above.

Directory entities (Persons & Organizations) and custom objects

Persons and Organizations are built-in Directory entities backed by the custom-object model; both use the entity envelope above and the company.fmv1_custom_object:* permission family. Configurable relationships between objects use these cardinality values: Relationship cardinality values: one_to_one, one_to_many, many_to_one, many_to_many

Policy Model

Policies use a transaction-based, temporally-versioned data model. Rather than directly editing policy fields, you submit transactions (new business, endorsement, cancellation, etc.) that produce immutable versions. For a deep dive, see Policy Concepts.

Policy Version

Each transaction produces a new policy version containing one or more segments — date ranges where the policy state is identical.

Policy Segment

A segment is a date range within the policy term where the policy state is constant. Segments are derived from final state — they are not one-per-transaction.

Policy Transaction

Transactions are the immutable record of changes to a policy. Transaction action values: NEW_BUSINESS, ENDORSE, CANCEL, REINSTATE, RENEW

Transaction Delta

Deltas describe the field-level changes a transaction made within a date range.

Policy List Item

List endpoints return a summary with optional segment detail:

Bordereau Row

Bordereau export provides a flat row per policy transaction for reporting.
