Why use the OpenSanctions API

How bundles work

Matching

Only the lists you need

Choose watchlists and risk categories: sanctions, PEPs only, or a single list.

Every score explained

Each hit has an auditable explanation behind it.

Published methodology

Weights and matching rules are open source.

Any language, any script

Fuzzy matching that handles spelling across scripts and languages.

Match by number

An LEI, IMO, ISIN, BIC or wallet address confirms the match, whatever the name looks like.

Context beats chaos

Matching on dates of birth, nationalities and identifiers reduces false positives.

Integration

Your decision, our evidence

Our API returns hits, and the reasons behind them. Alert management, review and decisions live in your workflow.

One schema for every source

Sanctions, PEPs and enforcement data arrive deduplicated and in one data model.

Built from the docs

Comprehensive documentation, written to get a first match running the same day.

Hosted, or on your servers

Start on the hosted API. Switch to the same open-source API on your own infrastructure later, with a one-line change.
