Technical guides and deep dives for building reliable screening systems
Yes, the API can be used to screen both individuals and businesses against official sanctions lists, making it suitable for AML, KYC, and KYB workflows such as onboarding, transaction monitoring, and compliance checks.
Yes, you can try the API with 100 free screening requests. The trial is available once per account and allows you to test integration, response structure, and matching performance before upgrading to a paid plan.
Each screened subject counts as one request. If you send multiple subjects in a single API call, each subject is counted separately. For example, screening three subjects in one request counts as three requests. This applies to both single and batch screening.
Your API access is not blocked if you exceed your monthly limit. Any additional screening requests are billed automatically at your plan's rate and added to your monthly invoice. You are responsible for monitoring your usage through your dashboard or logs.
Yes, you can change your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately, with prorated billing and increased limits applied instantly. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle, and your current plan remains active until the end of the period.
Response times are typically under 300ms, depending on the number of subjects and attributes included in the request. The API supports small batch screening (up to 20 subjects per request), and performance may vary slightly based on query complexity and matching configuration.
