  title: SanctionsKit Source discovery API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: Explore success and error examples without an account or API key. Recorded examples use isolated synthetic application data; remaining examples are labeled contract fixtures. Potential-match screening is for review. No-match is limited to selected, qualified sources. Sandbox uses synthetic records and is never billed. Each successfully completed subject consumes one allowance unit, including monitoring rescreens. Failed rows and idempotent retries do not consume additional units.
