## 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 ofac-sdn-sanctions-list-search-48ef758b
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether 'Viktor Bout' appears on the OFAC SDN sanctions list and show me up to 10 matches with the sanction programs they belong to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, single-purpose OFAC SDN name search without additional enrichment layers. It is ideal for quick sanctions screening of individuals or entities by name during KYC, onboarding, or transaction monitoring workflows. If you also need GLEIF LEI or SEC EDGAR data in the same call, prefer the sibling composite counterparty due-diligence endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns zero results or validation error
- Name spelling variations may miss matches (fuzzy matching not guaranteed)
- Partial names may return too many or too few results
- Limit parameter exceeding allowed range may cause error
- Service unavailability due to Tailscale network or upstream issues
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access to the endpoint
- Very common names may return large result sets requiring higher limit values

## How this service works

Search the US Treasury OFAC SDN sanctions list by name. ?q=<name>&limit=10

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the original query string, a boolean 'sanctioned' flag indicating whether any matches were found, total number of matches, a list of matching SDN entries each with name, entity type (individual/entity/vessel etc.), and associated sanction programs (e.g. IRAN, SDGT, CYBER), plus the total count of entries in the full SDN list and the data source identifier.
