Stere is a New York-based insurance infrastructure company (founded 2021) that lets insurers, MGAs, and distribution partners build and launch digital insurance products - rating, quoting, binding, policy issuance, claims, and premium payments - in weeks rather than years. Its core offering is a "Stere API-as-a-Service" underwriting API (insurers can bring their own API or have Stere build one) plus a separate Stere Unified API and Stere Distribution layer that let brokers, wholesalers, fintechs, and embedded partners reach multiple carriers/products through a single connection (API, SDK, and webhooks). Stere Claims handles FNOL and claims workflow (portions of claims assessment and resolution are marketed as in-development/coming soon), and Stere Pay / Stere Pay Later provides a buy-now-pay-later gateway for insurance premiums.
There is no self-serve public developer portal. stere.io references a "Stere Docs," "API Changelog," and "API Status" area under /developer/, but those paths (stere.io/developer/stere-docs, /developer/api-changelog, /developer/api-status) return 404 publicly as of this review. No OpenAPI/Swagger document, base URL, authentication scheme, or sandbox signup is published. Integration is provisioned per customer after a sales-led insurer/MGA/partner onboarding engagement. The APIs listed below are honestly modeled from Stere's own product marketing pages, not from a published API reference, and are flagged endpointsModeled: true.

Stere's API-as-a-Service lets an insurer or MGA either bring its own existing underwriting API ("Bring-your-own-API") or have Stere build one, with rate, quote, bind, policy issuance, data enrichment, KYC/KYB, and billing capabilities, often issuing a policy within seconds with little human intervention. The companion Stere Unified API exposes multiple insurers' products through one interface for consuming platforms.
