Inputs
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
names | array | Company, person or vessel names to check, one per line (up to 5,000 per run). A 7-digit IMO number finds a sanctioned ship. Legal forms (LLC, JSC, GmbH...) and accents are handled; Cyrillic names are transliterated. |
wallets | array | Crypto addresses (BTC, ETH, USDT, TRX and others) to check against the digital currency addresses listed by OFAC. EU and UK lists publish no wallet addresses. |
lists | array | Which official lists to check. Empty = all three: ofac (US Treasury SDN + Consolidated), eu (EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List), uk (UK Sanctions List, FCDO). |
entityType | string | Only match listed entries of this type. any = all types. |
threshold | integer | Lowest similarity score (50-100) that is reported. 92+ = match, threshold..91 = possible_match. Default 80. |
limit | integer | Most matches returned per screened name (1-50), best first. Default 5. |
birthYear | integer | Optional birth year of the person you screen. Listed persons with a different birth year are scored 15 points lower and get a note. |
mode | string | screen = check names and wallets; lists = show the version, size and freshness of each official list. |
onlyNew | boolean | Return only matches that this Monitor ID has not returned before. Schedule a daily run with your partner list to get alerted when a partner gets listed. |
monitorId | string | Name of the only-new memory, e.g. 'suppliers'. Each Monitor ID remembers its own reported hits. |
