How this service works
Screen a person or company name against the OFAC SDN list. Returns exact and substring matches with the SDN entry id and type, so every hit can be checked against the published list itself. Matching is exact and substring only - never a fuzzy similarity score, because a confident near-miss on a common surname is a liability rather than an answer. A miss is 'not on the lists checked, as of this date', never a clearance.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the query name, a verdict ('match' or 'no match'), a list of matching SDN entries (each with an ID, name, type, and match type of 'exact' or 'contains'), exact and substring match counts, the total number of entries on the list, the lists checked (OFAC SDN), and a timestamp for when the list was fetched. Also includes a cautionary note that a string match is not a confirmed identification.
Example use cases
Pre-payment vendor sanctions check
“Before we wire payment to our new supplier 'Rosneft Trading SA', can you check their name against the OFAC SDN list and tell me if there are any hits?”
Customer onboarding KYC screening
“We're onboarding a new customer named 'Viktor Medvedchuk' — can you run a sanctions screen against the OFAC list to see if this name appears as an exact match or substring?”
Investment counterparty due diligence
“I need to do a quick sanctions check before we proceed — can you look up 'Iran Air' on the OFAC SDN list and return the match type and any SDN entry IDs found?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agent402.tools/api/sanctions/nameWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, deterministic string-match check of a name against the OFAC SDN list with traceable entry IDs, and you explicitly do NOT want fuzzy scoring — only exact and substring matches. Prefer this over fuzzy-match sanctions tools when regulatory defensibility matters and you need to point back to a specific list entry. It is not a substitute for a full identity verification or a clearance decision.
Side effects
- Missing required 'name' query parameter — returns an error
- Name too short or ambiguous — may return high volume of substring matches
- List temporarily unavailable — fetch timestamp may be stale
- Common surnames may produce many unrelated substring matches
- Non-ASCII or special characters in name may affect matching behavior
