Use Cases

The Screening API is best suited for automated sanction screening requirements and is commonly embedded in real-time business events such as customer onboarding and financial transactions. The Screening API considers both similarity and dissimilarity and therefor helps reduce false positives.

The Screening API also facilitates scheduled ongoing screening requirements by accepting bulk requests.

Use Cases

The Search API is designed to provide a broader, less sensitive result set and is best suited for research and enhanced due diligence needs. The Search API does not consider dissimilarity and is more flexible in how is determines similarity. Because of this, the Search API will typically return more results than the Screening API.

Use Cases

The Bulk Job API is designed to screen very large jobs that are typical of ongoing AML/KYC requirements for large organizations. While the Screening API accepts bulk requests, there is a size limit, which may result in long running jobs that transmit hundreds of bulk requests. The Bulk Job API solves this by accepting up to 1 million records in a single request.

Use Cases

The World Data API is helpful for organizations that implement internal screening solutions and require only raw sanctions data. In this scenario, sensitive data being screened remains internal while the overhead of maintaining up to date sanctions data is avoided.
