<p class="callout success">**200**: Success  
</p>

#####   
Payload Structure

The data in the Quote response payload is structured as follows:

[![qe-quote-response-structure.png](https://docs.blackfin.tools/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/scaled-1680-/qe-quote-response-structure.png)](https://docs.blackfin.tools/uploads/images/gallery/2024-01/qe-quote-response-structure.png)

- **Results** – A successful response will contain one or more `result` objects. Each result relates to a specific provider (insurer) as defined by its `providerId`. This object contains the overall `totalPremium` for that provider, along with any applicable fees.
- **Clients** – Each result is split out by the `client` object(s) contained within it, as provided during the [request](https://docs.blackfin.tools/books/quoteengineapi/page/quote-request "Quote Request").
- **Products** – Under each client is an array of `product` objects, based on the `benefitId` and `productId` values included in the [request](https://docs.blackfin.tools/books/quoteengineapi/page/quote-request "Quote Request"). This contains the itemised `premium` that has been calculated for that product.
- **Descriptions** – This is an array of description strings that summarises the key attributes of the product that was calculated – *for example, the cover amount, any optional add-ons that were included, and any discounts that were applied.*
- **Errors** – Any products which were unable to be calculated will contain one or more `errors` detailing the reason for failure – *for example, where an optional add-on or requested setting is not supported by the provider.*
