We have now launched the ability to modify Weather Guarantees. The new APIs enable partners to modify existing Guarantees in response to changes in the customer's booking. Previously, modifications required the partner to cancel the existing Guarantee, create a new quote, and accept or decline the quote for the customer.

Sensible Weather is required to collect and remit sales tax on the purchase of Weather Guarantees when we are Merchant of Record. We have released the Assess Taxes Guarantee Quote endpoint to enable partners to add taxes to a quote. This enables the partner to surface the correct sales tax to customers and ensures that Sensible Weather charges the customer for the full cost of the Weather Guarantee plus applicable sales tax. This endpoint should only be used when Sensible Weather is the Merchant of Record. More details are available in Tax Integration.

We have added a new API to support partners that require us to be Merchant of Record for the Weather Guarantee and have the ability to pass us payment details to charge the customer for the cost of the Weather Guarantee. The new API is Accept and Charge Guarantee Quote and more details can be found in Scenario 1: Sensible Weather is Merchant of Record.

Create Guarantee Quote now accepts an exposure address instead of a latitude and longitude for partners that can't send us the lat/long of an exposure. At least one of address or lat/long is required. If both are provided, then lat/long will be used for quoting. The response will always return the lat/long, regardless of whether address or lat/long is provided in the request.

Version 1.1.0

We have added a new field, short_id to the response body of the Accept Quote API calls. The short_id is a 20 character ID that can be used instead of the 36 character id. This is a field requested by partners that have constraints on the size of the Weather Guarantee ID.
