How this service works
Pay-per-call directional OFAC SDN screen for AI agents (USDC on Base + Solana via x402). Potential matches only — not clearance.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an array of hits (each containing a match score, matched entity name, and match type such as 'primary' or 'alias'), total hit count, the query string used, the date the SDN list was last updated, and a disclaimer confirming results are directional potential matches only — not legal clearance.
Example use cases
Pre-onboarding customer sanctions check
“Before I add this new business client 'Meridian Global Holdings' to our platform, can you screen them against the OFAC SDN list with a threshold of 0.65 and tell me if there are any potential matches?”
Vendor due diligence before payment
“I'm about to wire funds to a vendor called 'Ali Hassan Al-Rashidi' — can you run an OFAC sanctions check on that name and return the top 5 hits so I know if there's any risk?”
Automated compliance check in agent workflow
“As part of our KYC flow, screen the name 'Banco Internacional de Comercio' against the OFAC SDN list and give me all potential matches above a 0.7 confidence score.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-ofac-api.vercel.app/sanctions-screen?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a fast, pay-per-call OFAC SDN screen without a subscription — ideal for low-volume compliance checks, agentic workflows requiring inline sanctions validation, or prototyping KYC/AML pipelines. The x402 micropayment model (USDC on Base) makes it cost-effective for sporadic use compared to enterprise sanctions APIs with monthly fees. Note: results are directional potential matches only and must not be used as a standalone compliance determination.
Side effects
- Empty query string returns error or zero hits
- Threshold set too high (close to 1.0) may produce zero results even for true positives
- Threshold set too low produces excessive false positives
- SDN list date may lag real-world updates by hours or days
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the call
- Name transliterations or spelling variants may not fuzzy-match correctly
