SanctionsIO
Overview
The SanctionsIO blueprint crawls screening data from sanctions.io, including sanctions hits, PEP matches, and the underlying data sources. It complements OpenSanctions coverage and feeds the Sanctions Intelligence and AML Compliance analyzers.
Configurations
| Configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Blueprint Account Name | Human-readable identifier for this sanctions.io account in the platform. |
| Bearer Token | sanctions.io API bearer token used for authentication. |
| API Base URL | sanctions.io API base URL. Defaults to https://api.sanctions.io. |
| Data Crawl Frequency | How often Kscope refreshes sanctions and PEP data. |
Permissions
Generate a bearer token in the sanctions.io dashboard. The crawler uses read-only screening endpoints and requires no additional scopes beyond the token's default access.
Enrichment Lookups
The SanctionsIO blueprint supports on-demand enrichment lookups so AI agents and investigators can screen names against the latest lists without waiting for the next crawl.
| Lookup Type | Description | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
screening.sanctions | Screen a name against sanctions lists and return matches | name (required), dataSource (optional — scope to one source; default: ALL) |
screening.pep | Screen a name against Politically Exposed Persons lists | name (required) |
screening.full | Combined sanctions and PEP screening for a name | name (required), dataSource (optional) |
Lookups reuse the same bearerToken and apiBaseURL configured for the crawl.
Schema Model
| Resource | Source Entity | Normalized Entity | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | sanctionsio.source.Source | Source | A sanctions or PEP data source (e.g. OFAC SDN, EU FSF) as catalogued by sanctions.io. |
