Interactive intelligence tool

Run the check, then ship the workflow

Use the browser tool for a fast answer, then move the same logic into scripts, monitoring, or product flows when it becomes repeatable.

1
Start with the live form

Enter a domain, URL, IP, email, or record and get a focused result without setup.

2
Review decision-ready signals

Outputs highlight statuses, risks, records, and next actions instead of raw provider noise.

3
Automate the workflow that works

Use the request and response examples to turn a one-off check into an API call or recipe.

What this tool helps you decide

Each page is shaped around a practical operational question, not just a raw lookup.

Signal

Context

Compare the result with related checks so the next move is easier to trust.

Action

Copy examples, open linked tools, or move into API documentation when you need scale.

Trust signals before you integrate

Transparent docs, authenticated requests, and visible reliability details make it easier to evaluate DomScan before you ship.

Live Service status

Check live service health and documented failure responses before you integrate.

OpenAPI API artifacts

OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, CLI, SDK, and MCP links are one click away.

API keys Protected access

Authenticated endpoints use API keys with clear credit costs before you call them.

Key Features

Five official lists

The US OFAC SDN and consolidated lists, the UN Security Council list, the EU financial sanctions list and the UK sanctions list, updated daily.

Finds spelling variants

Matches across word order, accents, transliteration, aliases, initials and small typos, so Mohammed also finds Muhammad.

Never a false all-clear

No match is only reported when every list is up to date. If a list could not be refreshed, the result says so.

Example request

POST /v1/sanctions/screen http
POST /v1/sanctions/screen
{"name": "Banco Nacional de Cuba"}
POST /v1/sanctions/screen http
POST /v1/sanctions/screen
{"name": "Vladimir Putin", "type": "person", "date_of_birth": "1952-10-07", "country": "RU"}

Built on the same API

The browser experience previews DomScan's structured endpoints, so teams can validate a use case before writing code.

Frequently asked questions

Does a match mean the person is sanctioned?

Not necessarily. Many people share a name. A potential match shows the list entry with its dates of birth, countries and programs so you can compare it with the person you are checking. A human should always review a match.

How current are the lists?

Each list is downloaded from its official source every day. Each result shows the publication date of every list, and a list older than three days makes the result unknown instead of clear.

Can I narrow the search?

Yes, through the API. Set the entity type, a date of birth and a country to rank the closest entries first, choose which lists to search and adjust the match threshold.
