How this service works
War-Tracker is a live war tracker map showing real-time military strikes and conflict events worldwide. Unbiased, uncensored OSINT: track Ukraine, Middle East, and global conflicts with video evidence as they happen.
Output
A JSON object containing the vessel's IMO number, flag state, name, build year, and vessel class, along with a list of sanctioning bodies (e.g. OFAC, UANI) with their listing dates, a boolean sanctioned flag, watchlist status with reason, source, severity (low/medium/high), and timestamps for when the watchlist entry was created and last updated.
Example use cases
Pre-charter sanctions due diligence
“Before we finalize this charter, can you screen the tanker with IMO 9368223 for sanctions? I need to know if it's listed on OFAC or UANI and whether there are any shadow-fleet concerns.”
Compliance team vessel screening
“Our compliance team needs to verify the sanctions status of IMO 9217981 — pull up any OFAC or UANI listings, watchlist reasons, and severity level so we can decide whether to proceed.”
Investigative OSINT on shadow fleet ship
“I'm researching a crude oil tanker suspected of sanctions evasion — can you look up IMO 9368223 on War-Tracker and tell me if it has AIS gaps, flag swaps, or shadow-fleet watchlist entries?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://war-tracker.com/api/v1/vessels/9217981/sanctionsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically screen a specific vessel for sanctions exposure using its IMO number, particularly when you need OFAC, UANI, and shadow-fleet watchlist data combined in a single call. It is ideal for compliance workflows, trade finance due diligence, maritime insurance screening, or investigative OSINT on tankers suspected of sanctions evasion. Prefer this over general maritime databases when shadow-fleet detection and real-time OSINT-sourced watchlist data are required.
Side effects
- Unknown IMO number returns empty or 404 response
- Vessel not yet indexed in the database returns no sanctions data
- Stale sanctions data if the vessel was recently added or removed from a list
- Rate limiting or payment failure if the x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Malformed IMO number format causes a bad request error
