Vendor Posting API — PolicyTek

The one thing that matters

Vendor posts are identical to standard lead posts with one addition: the top-level "redistribute": true. That flag routes your call or lead into the PolicyTek marketplace for redistribution. Without it, nothing redistributes. Do not forget it.

1. Endpoint

POST

https://api.policytek.com/v1/lead/external

JSON body, Content-Type: application/json. Use the API key PolicyTek assigned to you as wsApiToken.

2. Minimum request

JSON · minimum

{
  "wsApiToken": "YOUR_API_KEY",
  "leadData": {
    "phoneNumber": "(555) 555-5555"
  },
  "redistribute": true
}

Only two things are truly required inside the body: a valid phone number and theredistribute flag. Everything else improves match quality.

redistribute: true on every post. It is the whole point of this page.
Booleans are real JSON booleans — never quoted strings.
One POST per call or lead, sent in real time as it happens.
