## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen an individual specifically against FBI and US federal law enforcement watchlists as part of a KYC or AML compliance workflow, particularly when multi-country coverage via Verifik's Smart Agent is desired and per-query micropayment billing via x402 is acceptable.

- No match found returns an empty result set (not an error)
- Ambiguous name with no additional identifiers may return false positives
