fetch
ClaudeFetch one record by an id returned from search ("insurer:<slug>", "group:<slug>", "country:<slug>", "former:<slug>"), e.g. "insurer:uganda-apa-insurance-uganda". Returns the record as text with its regulator, class, verification level and register source, the page URL to cite, and the dataset version and licence in metadata. Absence from the directory does not establish absence of a licence. Provided for ChatGPT deep research and company knowledge; for ordinary questions prefer get_insurer, get_group or get_country_summary.
get_country
ClaudeGet one country in Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America or North America: regulator (name, acronym, website, notes), currency, counts by class and ownership, verification status against the regulator register, market notes, and its licensed insurers with register identifiers and source caveats. Counts by class count entities, not licences: every company appears once, under the class its register row records, and byClass sums to total. A regulator’s own per-class licence tally is broader and will not match. Most markets return every insurer in one call; a large market returns a first page, and insurersPage gives the total and the nextOffset to pass as offset. Prefer get_country_summary for market facts alone.
get_country_summary
ClaudeGet compact market facts for one country: regulator, currency, counts, verification and market notes, without its insurer rows. Counts by class count entities, not licences: every company appears once, under the class its register row records, and byClass sums to total. A regulator’s own per-class licence tally is broader and will not match. Accepts a country slug or ISO alpha-2 code. Use list_insurers with country for paged entity records.
get_directory_info
ClaudeGet this edition’s dataset version, source dates, licence, coverage counts, endpoint URLs and filter vocabularies, plus compact country metadata. Use this to discover supported country, class, ownership, region and continent slugs before querying.
get_group
ClaudeGet one insurance group by slug: home market, type, continents and countries covered, the slug of every licensed entity in the directory, and their records in insurersDetail. A large group returns a first page of records; insurersDetailPage gives the total and the nextOffset to pass as offset.
get_insurer
ClaudeGet one insurer by slug, including its parent group, class, regulator, source basis, register identifiers (LEI, national ID) where available, notes, sibling entities in the same group, and the reviewed profile (website, social links, founding year, stock-exchange listings with tickers, and Wikidata id) where one has been collected.
list_groups
ClaudeList insurance groups with licensed entities in two or more countries across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America, with their footprint.
list_iaigs
ClaudeList the Internationally Active Insurance Groups (IAIGs) in the IAIS public register with their group-wide supervisor and jurisdiction, and for each the directory groups, entities and countries it controls across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America.
list_insurers
ClaudeList licensed insurers with optional filters and bounded pages (25 by default, at most 200; a page of large records stops early to keep the response small and reports nextOffset). Filter by continent ("africa", "europe", "asia-pacific", "south-america", "north-america"), country slug (e.g. "uganda"), class slug (e.g. "captive-risk-retention-group", "composite", "funeral-assistance", "general-non-life", "health-medical"), group type slug (e.g. "corporate-parent-captive", "domestic-private", "foreign-multinational", "mutual-cooperative"), parent group slug or verification level. Country filtering fetches only that market's full insurer records; compact returns lean rows instead.
list_regulators
ClaudeList the insurance supervisory authority for every covered country: name, acronym, website, currency, notes and the register source used for verification. Returns every match unless limit or offset is supplied (when paging, limit defaults to 25 and is capped at 200); a long result stops early to keep the response small and reports nextOffset.
resolve_former_name
ClaudeResolve a company name that is no longer in use to the insurer listed today. Use this when a policy, certificate or older document names an insurer that does not appear in search_insurers — the company may have been renamed, merged or delisted. Returns what happened, when, and the current entity where one exists. A renamed, acquired, merged or transferred insurer keeps its licence, so its policies continue with the successor; only "failed" means the company failed.
search
ClaudeSearch licensed insurers, insurance groups, countries and former company names across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America. Returns up to 20 results, each with an id to pass to fetch and the insurers.global page URL to cite. Provided for ChatGPT deep research and company knowledge; for ordinary questions prefer search_insurers, which returns slugs, record types and paging.
search_insurers
ClaudeSearch licensed insurance companies, reinsurers, takaful operators and insurance groups across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America by name. Returns matching insurers, countries and groups with their slugs and links.
