# CompliAPI Country Sanctions Screening

> CompliAPI Country Sanctions Screening is a paid API for AI agents from api.compliapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## 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 compliapi-country-sanctions-screening-6aa6d04c
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Iran is sanctioned and tell me which lists flag it — run it against OFAC, the EU FSF, and UK FCDO sanctions lists?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, per-country sanctions check against multiple authoritative lists (OFAC, EU FSF, UK FCDO) in a single call. Prefer this over manual list lookups or broader name-screening endpoints when the subject of inquiry is specifically a country or jurisdiction rather than an individual or entity. It is ideal for automated compliance gates in payment flows, onboarding pipelines, and export workflows where country-level risk must be resolved in real time.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled country name returns an error or empty result
- Invalid ISO code results in a 400 bad request
- Requesting a specific list slug that does not exist or is not enabled returns an error
- Network timeouts may occur if upstream sanctions list data sources are temporarily unavailable
- Authentication or payment failures (402) if x402 payment is not properly attached

## How this service works

Easy OFAC sanction list lookups, geo-fencing checks and VPN detection, streamlining compliance obligations around the world.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the country's ISO code, a boolean 'sanctioned' flag, a boolean 'flagged' flag, a list of any matched sanctions entries, and an array of all sanctions lists that were checked (e.g. ofac, ofac_consolidated, eu_fsf, uk_fcdo_sanctions).
