How this service works
558 pay-per-call data APIs for AI agents: Solana and EVM on-chain data, tokenized stocks, DeFi, Hyperliquid, economy and official statistics, FX, validation, web and developer tools. Pay in USDC via x402.
Output
Returns a JSON object with the queried name, the data source (UN Security Council Consolidated List), total number of entries in the list, number of matches found, and an array of matched results. Each result includes entity type (e.g. persona or organization), a numeric match score (0–1), all known aliases/names, the date sanctioned, the regime (e.g. Al-Qaida, Taliban), a reference ID, nationality, and a detailed comment about the entity. Includes a disclaimer note about approximate matching.
Example use cases
KYC onboarding sanctions screen
“Before we onboard this new client, check if 'Viktor Bout' appears on the UN sanctions list — I need the match score, the regime they're listed under, and their reference number.”
Counterparty due diligence check
“We're about to wire funds to a company associated with 'Mullah Omar' — can you screen that name against the UN Consolidated Sanctions List and tell me if there are any hits and how confident the match is?”
Automated compliance alert triage
“Run a UN sanctions check on the name 'Al-Nusra Front' for me — return up to 5 matches with a threshold of 0.7, including the sanction regime, date listed, and any comments.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/un-sanctions?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to screen individuals or entities against the UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List specifically. It supports fuzzy matching with configurable thresholds, making it suitable for compliance workflows where exact name spelling is uncertain. Prefer this over OFAC-only or national sanctions APIs when the requirement is UN-level multilateral sanctions coverage. It is pay-per-call and low-latency, making it suitable for real-time KYC, AML, and counterparty due diligence checks within agent workflows.
Side effects
- Name not found — returns empty results array with matches: 0
- Ambiguous name with many partial matches — may return multiple low-confidence hits requiring manual review
- Missing required 'name' field — returns validation error
- Threshold or limit parameter out of acceptable range — may return error or default behavior
- UN list data may lag real-world designations by hours or days
