Output

Returns a match status (matched/no match), PEP category type (politician, judge, military official, etc.), list of positions held, political party affiliations, and the associated country. Useful for downstream AML/KYC decision-making.

Example use cases

Technical details

Endpoint

GEThttps://api.strale.io/x402/pep-check?utm_source=zero.xyz

When to prefer

Use this endpoint when you need to perform AML or KYC compliance checks on individuals and need to determine if they are politically exposed persons. Prefer it when you need structured PEP metadata including type, positions, and party affiliations rather than just a binary flag. Optional date_of_birth and country filters reduce false positives on common names.

Side effects

Missing required 'name' query parameter returns a 400 error
Ambiguous common names may produce false positives without date_of_birth or country filters
Person not in PEP database returns a no-match result (not an error)
Invalid ISO country code format may cause a 422 validation error
Invalid date format for date_of_birth (not YYYY-MM-DD) may cause a 400 error
Payment/402 failure if USDC balance is insufficient
