How this service works
Match a supplied name and optional typed identifiers against freshly retrieved OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists. Return potential candidates, strong/weak aliases, matching evidence and versioned source dates/hashes. Similarity is heuristic; no identity, transaction-legality or clearance guarantee. 0.01 USDC per completed diagnostic; source/limit failures are uncharged.
Output
Returns a verdict (e.g. 'potential_matches' or 'no_matches'), a list of match candidates with their list source (ofac_sdn or ofac_consolidated), match basis, and whether review is required, plus coverage metadata including source record counts, published dates, and a query-complete flag, along with an observed_at timestamp and limitation disclaimers.
Example use cases
New vendor onboarding sanctions check
“Before we onboard this new supplier — Karimov Industrial Partners — can you run them against the OFAC sanctions lists and let me know if there are any potential matches I need to review?”
Customer KYC screening for fintech
“We need to screen a new customer named 'Ali Hassan Mousavi' with passport identifier type 'PASSPORT' and value 'A12345678' against OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists — can you do that and return any match candidates?”
Pre-transaction counterparty check
“I'm about to send a wire to 'Volga Export LLC' — can you quickly check if that company name shows up anywhere on the OFAC sanctions lists before I proceed?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.mekler.ai/v1/data/sanctions/check-list-matches?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, automated heuristic screen of a name (and optional typed identifiers) against live OFAC SDN and Consolidated sanctions lists, especially in agentic compliance workflows, vendor onboarding, KYC pipelines, or pre-transaction checks. Prefer it over static/cached screening tools when freshness and source versioning (published dates and hashes) matter. Not a substitute for legal review or definitive identity verification.
Side effects
- Source list retrieval failure — returns uncharged error if OFAC lists cannot be freshly fetched
- Name too short or too long — rejected if outside 2–160 character bounds
- Invalid request_id format — must match 16–64 alphanumeric/underscore/hyphen pattern
- Too many identifiers — maximum of 5 identifier objects allowed
- Ambiguous heuristic matches — similarity scoring may produce false positives requiring manual review
- No matches returned does not constitute legal clearance to transact
