info:
  title: sanctions.io Account Management Monitoring API
  description: The sanctions.io API provides sanctions, PEP (politically exposed persons), and criminal watchlist screening for AML compliance. It covers the Screening API (v2.3) - real-time single search, batch screening of up to 10,000 records per request, adverse media search, data source listing, and full database export - and the Monitoring API (v3.1) for continuous monitoring with alerts, plus account management (tokens, company and webhook configuration, users, plans, usage). All requests require a Bearer API token in the Authorization header; the API version is selected with the Accept header, for example "application/json; version=2.3" (the adverse media endpoint requires version=3.0). Sign up for a self-serve 7-day free trial at https://api.sanctions.io/users/signup to obtain a key.
