# Relaystation Sanctions & PEP Screening

> Relaystation Sanctions & PEP Screening is a paid API for AI agents from api.relaystation.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Screens a name against OFAC, EU, UK, and UN sanctions lists plus Wikidata-derived PEP watchlists with fuzzy matching, returning an instant JSON verdict.

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 relaystation-sanctions-pep-screening-646abfa4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a sanctions and PEP screen on 'Viktor Petrov' — check him against OFAC, EU, UK, and UN lists and let me know if there's any match?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, unified sanctions and PEP screening call across OFAC, EU, UK, and UN lists simultaneously with fuzzy name matching — ideal for KYC onboarding flows, transaction screening, or due diligence automation where you want a single JSON verdict rather than querying each list separately. At $0.01 per call it is cost-effective for high-volume compliance pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Name not provided or empty input returns validation error
- Network timeout if downstream sanctions database is unavailable
- Ambiguous name with many fuzzy candidates may return multiple low-confidence hits requiring manual review
- Insufficient balance returns payment required error
- Newly listed sanctions entries may have a brief propagation delay before appearing in results

## How this service works

$0.01/screen. Screen any name against OFAC, EU, and UK sanctions (UN included) plus Wikidata-derived PEP watchlists — fuzzy matching, instant JSON verdict. Compliance in one call, one of 155 Relaystation tools on one balance — relaystation.ai

## Output

A JSON object containing a match verdict (hit or clear), the specific sanctions list(s) matched, the matched entity name(s), a fuzzy match confidence score, and PEP designation status if applicable.
