Sanctions screening API for onboarding and monitoring
Add sanctions, PEP and criminal-watchlist checks to onboarding or monitoring through one REST API. Use scoped API keys, submit single or batch searches, and retain structured results for review and audit. Cases that need ownership or relationship research can continue into a deeper KYB or UBO workflow in the platform.
API v1 is live
Endpoints are generally available with API-key auth and per-tier rate limits. Explore every endpoint in the interactive OpenAPI docs at /api/v1/docs.
Submit an entity with the X-API-Key header and choose sanctions_check, adverse_media, full_search, or deep_research_report. The API returns a search id and an estimated time; retrieve the result when processing completes.
Send a CSV/XLSX file with name, optional country, and optional search_type. Use one search type per file: sanctions_check, adverse_media, or full_search. Deep Research is per-case only and is not accepted in batch.
Create one Quick Check (sanctions_check), Adverse Media Check (adverse_media), Full Search (full_search), or Deep Research Report (deep_research_report) using search_type. Returns a search id, processing status and an estimated time. Deep Research runs as a durable background job — poll for the result rather than holding the connection open.
Auth: X-API-Key (search:write)
EP 02ENDPOINT
POST /api/v1/batch
Submit CSV/XLSX files for high-volume screening. The optional search_type column defaults to sanctions_check, must be consistent across the file, and does not accept deep_research_report.
Auth: X-API-Key (batch:write)
EP 03ENDPOINT
POST /api/v1/keys
Create and manage API credentials with scoped permissions, tier-aware rate limits, and usage tracking.
Auth: Bearer token (account)
§03 Why teams use the API
03 / 05
Single integration for sanctions, PEP, criminal watchlist, adverse media, and KYB/UBO screening
API-key auth via the X-API-Key header, with permission-scoped keys for least-privilege access
Per-tier rate limits with usage logging for governance and cost control
Search, batch, keys, account, coverage, and health endpoints under /api/v1
Interactive OpenAPI docs at /api/v1/docs plus a machine-readable OpenAPI schema
Structured output suitable for audit logs, case files, and downstream decisions
Screening requests to /api/v1/search and /api/v1/batch authenticate with an API key sent in the X-API-Key header. Create keys in your dashboard, or programmatically via /api/v1/keys after authenticating with your account bearer token.
Q02
Is the API generally available?
Yes. API v1 is live and generally available. Authenticate with an API key, call the search, batch, and key-management endpoints, and explore everything in the interactive OpenAPI docs at /api/v1/docs.
Q03
Can I scope API key permissions?
Yes. Keys support permissions such as search:read, search:write, batch:read, and batch:write so you can enforce least-privilege access per integration.
Q04
What rate limits apply?
Rate limits are assigned per API tier and enforced per API key — the tier governs request throughput, not billing. Response headers include the limit, remaining quota, and reset timestamps so you can back off cleanly.
Q05
Where can I test the endpoints quickly?
Use the interactive documentation at /api/v1/docs for Swagger testing and /api/v1/redoc for reference-style docs. The OpenAPI schema is served at /api/v1/openapi.json.
