## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need instant, real-time OFAC sanctions screening specifically for tanker vessels using AIS data, paid per-query at $0.03 USDC via x402 on Base — ideal for compliance workflows, trade finance due diligence, or port operations where low-latency per-call pricing is preferred over subscription-based maritime compliance services.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or unrecognized vessel identifier returns an empty result object with ok:true but no sanctions match
- Network or AIS data unavailability may return an error or incomplete result
- Invalid input format may cause a 400-level error
- Micropayment failure (insufficient USDC balance or signing error) blocks the request entirely
