# Factline Sanctions Screening > Factline Sanctions Screening is a paid API for AI agents from factline.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11). Screens a person or company name against EU, UN, UK, and US OFAC SDN sanctions lists using fuzzy matching, returning scored matches with list memberships, references, programmes, and birth dates. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://factline.dev/v1/sanctions/screen?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.005/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-11 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/factline-sanctions-screening-4cd5f40d - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_M79kdtQzTa9cnZs5Vmasu Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## 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-sanctions-screening-4cd5f40d ``` Example prompt: Before we onboard this new client, can you screen 'Viktor Petrov' as a person against the EU, UN, UK, and US OFAC sanctions lists and flag any matches above a 80 score? ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need a single, comprehensive sanctions screen across all major international lists (EU, UN, UK, OFAC SDN) in one call with fuzzy matching. Prefer this over the bulk endpoint for single-name lookups during real-time onboarding flows, payment processing, or individual due diligence checks. The fuzzy matching and scoring make it superior to exact-match database queries when names may be transliterated or misspelled. ## Known failure modes - Missing required 'name' parameter returns a 400 error - Threshold value outside 70-100 range may be rejected or defaulted - Non-Latin characters in the name field may reduce match quality - No matches found returns an empty result set (not an error) - Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient ## 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 $0.001 per call. ## Output Returns a list of scored candidate matches from the combined EU, UN, UK, and US OFAC SDN sanctions databases. Each match includes a similarity score, the specific list(s) the entry appears on, sanctions programmes, aliases, references, and birth dates where available. Fuzzy matching handles transliteration, spelling variants, and word-order differences across 25,000+ sanctioned persons, companies, and vessels. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "name" ], "properties": { "name": { "type": "string", "description": "Person or organisation name to screen, in Latin letters, e.g. 'Vladimir Putin' or 'Factline'" }, "type": { "enum": [ "person", "entity" ], "type": "string", "description": "Optional: only persons or only organisations" }, "threshold": { "type": "string", "description": "Optional minimum match score 70-100 (default 85)" }, "birth_year": { "type": "string", "description": "Optional 4-digit birth year; raises or lowers the match score" } } } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": "object" } } } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "list": { "sources": [ { "list": "EU", "name": "EU consolidated financial sanctions list (European Commission)", "dated": "2026-09-22" }, { "list": "UN", "name": "UN Security Council consolidated sanctions list", "dated": "2026-10-07" }, { "list": "UK", "name": "UK Sanctions List (FCDO/OFSI)", "dated": "07/10/2026" }, { "list": "US", "name": "US OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list", "dated": "OFAC SDN" } ], "entities": 25591, "loaded_at": "2026-10-08T00:30:53.837Z" }, "query": { "name": "Sergey Lavrov", "type": null, "threshold": 85, "birth_year": null }, "source": "European Commission FSF; UN Security Council; UK FCDO; US Treasury OFAC", "matches": [ { "score": 100, "entity": { "type": "person", "lists": [ "EU", "UK", "US" ], "names": [ "Sergey Viktorovich LAVROV", "Sergej Viktorovitj LAVROV", "Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov" ], "un_id": null, "remark": "(Date of UN designation: 2022-02-25)", "countries": [ "RUSSIAN FEDERATION", "Russia" ], "references": { "EU": "EU.7511.15", "UK": "RUS0252", "US": "35233" }, "birth_dates": [ "1950-03-21" ], "eu_reference": "EU.7511.15", "listed_since": "2022-02-25", "sanctions_programmes": [ "UKR", "UK The Russia 2019", "US OFAC RUSSIA-EO14024" ] }, "matched_name": "Sergey Viktorovich LAVROV" }, { "score": 95, "entity": { "type": "person", "lists": [ "UK", "US" ], "names": [ "Yekaterina Sergeyevna VINOKUROVA", "Yekaterina Sergeyevna LAVROVA", "Ekaterina Sergeyevna VINOKUROVA" ], "un_id": null, "remark": "The Director Disqualification Sanction was imposed on 09/04/2025.", "countries": [ "Russia" ], "references": { "UK": "RUS1130", "US": "36405" }, "birth_dates": [ "1983-04-03" ], "eu_reference": null, "listed_since": "2022-04-08", "sanctions_programmes": [ "UK The Russia 2019", "US OFAC RUSSIA-EO14024" ] }, "matched_name": "Yekaterina Sergeyevna LAVROVA" } ], "disclaimer": "Automated name screening aid, not legal advice.
