# Developer API

Why copy-paste names between systems when one API call does it all?

Embed company verification, ownership mapping, PEP checks, adverse media, and sanctions signals directly into your existing workflows.

// The request

One POST call. That's your entire integration.

Entity name, country, screening profile. Send it. The AI agent takes it from there — no orchestration logic on your end.

// Build vs buy

Build in-house vs. integrate ScreenVeritAI

Aspect	Build in-house	ScreenVeritAI API
Time to production	6-12 months to source lists, build matching, handle edge cases	Days to integrate — production-ready from first API call
Sanctions list coverage	Manual ingestion of each list format; ongoing schema maintenance	10+ regimes maintained and updated continuously
Matching accuracy	Custom fuzzy matching requires NLP expertise and constant tuning	AI with fuzzy matching, transliteration, alias resolution, phonetic algorithms
PEP and adverse media	Separate vendors, separate integrations, separate budgets	PEP, adverse media, and UBO data in the same API response
Ongoing maintenance	Dedicated team for list updates, schema changes, false-positive tuning	Fully managed — updates, improvements, and infrastructure handled for you
Audit trail	Build your own logging, evidence, and retention infrastructure	Timestamped evidence bundles with source references included

// How it works

Four steps to embedded compliance

Get your API key

Create a scoped key from your dashboard with least-privilege permissions: search:read, search:write, batch:read, batch:write.

Integrate the endpoint

One POST call to your onboarding, payment, or CRM workflow — send entity name, type, and country, get a job ID back.

Process results

Poll the results endpoint or receive a webhook callback with structured JSON — company context, ownership, PEP, adverse media, sanctions signals, and risk scores.

Monitor and alert

Configure ongoing monitoring — the API sends alerts when sanctions lists update or new adverse media surfaces.

// Quickstart examples

Get started in minutes

A single API call returns a complete screening result.

// FAQ

API integration FAQ

#How do I authenticate API requests?

API key in the Authorization header. Keys are created from your dashboard with scoped permissions.

#Is the API synchronous or asynchronous?

Asynchronous. Submit a request, get a job ID, retrieve results by polling or webhook. Your pipeline never blocks.

#What response format does the API return?

Structured JSON with sanctions matches, PEP flags, adverse media, confidence scores, source references, and risk-tier classification.

#What rate limits apply?

Assigned by subscription tier per API key. Response headers include remaining quota and reset timestamp.

#Can I screen entities in batch via the API?

Yes. The batch endpoint accepts CSV or XLSX with up to 100 rows per request, results retrievable per row or as a complete export.

#How do I set up ongoing monitoring via the API?

Configure monitoring after initial screening. When lists update or new adverse media surfaces, the API sends a webhook to your endpoint.

#What compliance data is included in each screening result?

Sanctions matches across 10+ regimes, PEP status with family connections, adverse media with multilingual citations, UBO data, risk tier, and timestamped evidence bundle.

#How long does a screening take?

Standard sanctions check: seconds. Deep research with adverse media and ownership mapping: under two minutes.

API terminology

REST API

Web API using standard HTTP methods — compatible with any language or framework that can make HTTP requests.

Webhook

Server-to-server HTTP callback triggered when a screening completes or monitoring detects a change.

Async processing

The API accepts a job immediately and processes it in the background — retrieve results via polling or webhook.

API key

Secret token for authenticating API requests, scoped with specific permissions for least-privilege access.

Rate limiting

Restricts API requests per time window by subscription tier — remaining quota and reset timestamps in response headers.

Structured response

Machine-readable JSON with consistent field names and types, enabling automated parsing and decision logic.
