## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability apac-licensed-entity-lookup-ofac-sdn-consolidated-sanctions-name-screen-afb5d74c
```

Example prompt: Can you screen the company name 'Mahan Air' against the OFAC SDN and Consolidated sanctions lists to see if it comes up as a match, including any aliases, and return the top 5 results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, programmatic OFAC-only sanctions name screening with fuzzy matching (typo tolerance and diacritic folding) for entities, individuals, vessels, or aircraft. It is ideal for lightweight KYC/AML pre-screening pipelines, automated onboarding workflows, or real-time payment screening where exact spelling is uncertain. Not suitable for EU, UN, UK, or other non-OFAC list screening, and always requires human review for positive matches.

## Known failure modes

- Query string too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 120 chars) returns 400 validation error
- Unknown entity type value returns 400 bad request
- min_score below 0.5 rejected with validation error
- No matches found returns empty matches array with count 0 and potential_match false
- List data temporarily unavailable returns 503
- Network timeout or Cloudflare Worker cold start latency

## How this service works

Screen a company, person, vessel or aircraft name against the OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists, including aliases, with diacritic folding and one-typo tolerance per word. Returns ranked matches with match_score, programs and list date. Informational, not legal advice.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the total match count, a ranked list of matches (each with UID, list name, canonical name, entity type, aliases, sanctions programs, match score, and matched name), the list's last-modified timestamp, a potential_match boolean, and a legal disclaimer. Results are sorted by match_score descending.
