OpenSanctions / Search sanctions, PEP and watchlist entities by name
Text search over OpenSanctions: sanctioned people and companies, politically exposed persons (PEPs), wanted lists, debarments and other watchlists from 470+ sources. Returns matching entities with names, aliases, birth dates, countries, topics and source datasets, plus facet counts. A quick name lookup; for screening a customer or counterparty use opensanctions-match, which scores each hit. $0.12 per search, also when nothing is found (OpenSanctions bills every successful search). An unknown dataset or bad input costs $0. Results are screening hits for a human to review, never a legal determination that someone is or is not sanctioned. Data by OpenSanctions (opensanctions.org), aggregated from 470+ public sources and updated several times a day; attribute OpenSanctions when you show it. It holds data about real people: screen only with a lawful basis (a legal obligation such as AML/KYC, or a legitimate interest in sanctions and PEP screening), never for marketing. looot keeps no shared cache of results; every call asks OpenSanctions live.
