curl -X GET 'https://apis.solarialabs.com/shine/v1/vehicle-thefts?state=UT&apikey=[YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY]'
import requests
url = "https://apis.solarialabs.com/shine/v1/vehicle-thefts"
querystring = {"state":"UT","apikey":"[YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY]"}
response = requests.request("GET", url, params=querystring)
print(response.text)
var request = require('request');
var options = { method: 'GET',
url: 'https://apis.solarialabs.com/shine/v1/vehicle-thefts',
qs: { state: 'UT', apikey: '[YOUR_UNIQUE_KEY]' },
};
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(body);
});

About Shine API
The Shine API product directory is an open beta project created by Solaria Labs, the innovation incubator of Liberty Mutual Insurance. Our mission is to leverage the data assets of Liberty Mutual — a Top 10 Global Insurance company — and meld them with cutting-edge data science in order to create products that shine a light on information that helps people make better, safer decisions. By making these products easy for third-party developers to test and integrate, we hope Shine API can act as the vanguard in a movement to manage risk through more informed decision-making.
Shine API is currently in open beta — which means that the product offerings on this site are brand new and subject to enhancements on a regular basis
