## 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-crypto-address-sanctions-screening-3bcfa607
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the wallet address 0x722122dF12D4e14e13Ac3b6895a86e84145b6967 is on any OFAC or global sanctions lists before we process this transaction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, per-address sanctions screening of crypto wallet addresses or ENS names against multiple authoritative global lists (OFAC SDN, OFAC Consolidated, EU FSF, UK FCDO) in a single call. Prefer it over manual list lookups or batch-only compliance tools when you need instant go/no-go decisions at the point of transaction or onboarding. It is especially suited for crypto-native applications, DeFi protocols, and exchanges that need pay-per-use compliance without managing their own sanctions data feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed wallet address returns an error
- ENS name resolution failure if ENS is not resolvable
- Unknown list slug in 'lists' query param returns validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC payment is not processed
- Address not found on any list returns flagged: false with empty matches array (not an error)
- Network timeout if upstream sanctions data sources are unavailable

## 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 wallet address, a boolean 'flagged' field, a 'sanctioned' boolean, an array of 'matches' (each with the list name, match type such as exact or fuzzy, matched value, SDN metadata like entity name, list type, and a source URL), and the full list of sanctions lists that were checked.
