## 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 flipvo-tollbooth-ofac-sanctions-screener-9d736029 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'Banco Nacional de Cuba' as an entity against OFAC sanctions, with a minimum score of 85 and a country of CU, and show me up to 10 matches with their programs and reasons?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fuzzy, accent-folding, multi-script OFAC SDN and Consolidated list screening via a pay-per-call API without a subscription. It supports optional re-ranking by entity type, date of birth, and country, making it suitable for automated KYC/AML pipelines. Note: it covers only US OFAC lists — use alternative services if you also require UN, EU, or UK sanctions coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Name too short (under 2 characters) or too long (over 200 characters) — validation error
- Invalid type enum value — rejected with 422
- Country code not valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 — rejected with 422
- min_score outside 70–100 range — rejected with 422
- Payment not attached or insufficient — 402 response
- Empty candidates list returned (paid 200) — not a clearance certification, just no matches above threshold
- Service unavailable or timeout — 5xx error

## How this service works

Screen a name against the US OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists: potential matches with list, programs, name score and reasons; optional type, date of birth and country re-rank. Fuzzy, folds accents, any script. Not a determination: an empty candidates list is a paid 200 and certifies nothing. Not UN, EU or UK.

## Output

Returns a list of candidate matches from the OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists, each with a numeric name similarity score, matched sanctions programs, and reasons explaining the match. An empty candidates list is a valid paid 200 response and does not certify clearance. Does not cover UN, EU, or UK sanctions lists.
