## 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-geo-sanctions-screening-by-ip-a263cf57
```

Example prompt: Before processing this transaction, check if the IP address 203.0.113.45 is from a sanctioned country or OFAC-restricted region using CompliAPI's geo sanctions screening.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single API call that combines both IP geolocation and OFAC sanctions status in one response, rather than making separate calls for geo-lookup and sanctions screening. Ideal for real-time compliance checks at transaction or registration time where you need to know both where a user is and whether that location is restricted.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed IP address returns an error response
- Private or reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x) may return incomplete geo data
- IP not found in geolocation database may return null city/region
- Sanctions list may not be fully up-to-date in real time
- IPv6 addresses may have less precise geolocation coverage
- Network timeout or upstream database unavailability

## 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 IP address, resolved city, region, and country, plus a boolean 'sanctioned' field indicating OFAC or other sanctions designation, and an optional source_url referencing the sanctions list entry if applicable.
