Built around your work
Your application needs more than a yes or no.
The first API call is only the start. Your integration needs a clear path for a possible match, a no-match, and an error. It also needs a way for a reviewer to find the evidence behind the right customer record.
Choose the lists your app needs
Choose named sources or a package version. If a required source cannot be checked, you get an error. Keep the check open while you fix the cause.
Give reviewers an included dashboard
Save the screening ID with your own record. Reviewers can open the same result in the dashboard. There is no need to build a review tool first.
Put it into practice
From your first request to a useful integration.
An onboarding check that has a review path.
A developer needs to connect a customer record, an API response, and the reviewer’s next step. A result ID provides the link, while explicit outcomes keep each branch of the app clear.
Engineering owns safe requests and error handling. Analysts use the same saved evidence to explain their decisions. Your app keeps control of its customer workflow.
- 01
Make your first API request
Create a live key and check available sources, or choose a sandbox key for made-up test records. Keep the key on your server. Send one request and save its result ID with your own reference.
- 02
Connect your decision paths
Route possible matches to review. Continue the rest of your policy process after no-match. Handle errors separately and retry an unchanged request with the same body and key.
- 03
Give reviewers useful context
Choose retention before relying on case history. Confirm live sources, scopes, and expected volume, then connect your app to the team that owns review decisions.
Evaluate the fit
Questions from your team.
Can developers try the sanctions API for free?
Yes. Your first workspace gets 250 free live screenings, shared by the API and dashboard. This is one lifetime allowance, with no monthly reset or credit card needed. The optional sandbox uses made-up records to test matches, no-matches and errors. The quickstart and language guides show complete requests.
What should we save after a screening request?
Save the returned screening ID with your own customer or supplier reference. Do not rely on the create response to echo every submitted field. Your app needs its own link between the intended operation and the saved result.
How should an integration handle retries?
Create an Idempotency-Key for a new request. Reuse it only when retrying the same body. A replay of an accepted screening returns the original operation without another completed-screening unit. Changed subject details need a new request.
Should a no-match automatically approve the customer?
No. It means the selected check completed without a possible match. Your app must still follow other checks and approvals required by its policy. An error is different again: it means the screening is incomplete.
How do analysts review matches from our app?
Saved API results appear in the included dashboard. Possible matches enter the review queue with source facts. Give the team the screening reference so they can find the same result and record their review. Keep the app’s business decision separate from the original API outcome.
