Data boundary

What is not available

No raw CANNEX feed. AnnuityRatesHQ is a licensee and does not redistribute the source feed.

No bulk per-product export. The public files cannot reconstruct the licensed catalog. Top-N embeds are bounded summaries, not a feed.

No guessed nulls. Unavailable values remain unavailable; they are not converted to zero or replaced with estimates.

Self-updating embeds

One script tag each

Annuity Rate Index

Current benchmark cards and recent trend series.

Review verdict badge

Replace the data-review value with the last part of a published review URL. If a review has no published verdict, the badge says it is unavailable.

Data API questions

Do I need an API key?

No. The listed JSON and CSV endpoints are public, use cross-origin headers, and require no signup or API key.

May I republish the raw CANNEX feed?

No. AnnuityRatesHQ does not distribute the raw CANNEX feed or bulk per-product rate records. The public endpoints contain AnnuityRatesHQ derived index values, aggregate statistics, and review interpretation.

What attribution is required?

Include a visible link to the AnnuityRatesHQ Annuity Rate Index. Every JSON payload and every row in the index-history CSV carries the license and attribution HTML.
