# List coverage types
> Every value coverages[].type accepts, with its definition, common aliases and flags. Requires no scope.
The list `coverages[].type` is checked against when you create a quote. Use `name` and `aliases` to map your system's line names; the API accepts only `type` values. We add types over time; treat an unknown one as `other`. See [coverage types](/guides/coverage-types).
