# Factline Bulk Sanctions & PEP Screening

> Factline Bulk Sanctions & PEP Screening is a paid API for AI agents from factline.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.24/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

## 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 factline-bulk-sanctions-pep-screening-aad1b5df
```

Example prompt: Can you screen these three names — Vladimir Putin, John Smith, and Acme Trading Ltd — against both sanctions and PEP lists, using a match threshold of 85, and tell me if any of them are flagged?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen multiple names (up to 100) in a single API call rather than one at a time, reducing cost and latency for batch compliance workflows. Prefer this over single-name endpoints when onboarding multiple users, processing a supplier list, or running nightly batch AML checks. Well-suited for agents embedded in compliance, fintech, or KYB workflows that need programmatic access to EU, UN, UK, and US OFAC sanctions data plus PEP lists with fuzzy matching.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'names' query parameter returns validation error
- More than 100 names in a single call may be rejected
- Threshold outside 70-100 range may cause error or default to 85
- Invalid 'type' enum value (not 'person' or 'entity') returns error
- Invalid 'lists' enum value returns error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response
- Network timeout for large batches near the 100-name limit

## How this service works

API and MCP servers that let AI agents and apps check people, companies, Dutch addresses and cars against official records: sanctions and PEP lists, 10 company registers, Dutch property, rent and RDW vehicle data. From $0.001 per call.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the total count of names checked, the lists screened, the number flagged, and per-name results including: sanctions match details with top score and possible_match flag, PEP match details with possible_match flag, and overall flagged boolean. Also includes the USD amount charged for the call.
