SanctionsKit provides a comprehensive sanctions screening API and compliance dashboard that enables businesses to screen individuals and organizations against global restricted‑party lists, manage investigations, and maintain audit trails. The platform offers batch and real‑time screening, case management, and ongoing monitoring with a free sandbox key for developers to test integrations. It serves financial services, fintech, trade, logistics, and marketplace sectors, delivering detailed source evidence and customizable alerts.
SanctionsKit publishes 10 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Batches and files API, Counterparties API, Monitoring API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, Sanctions, Compliance, Screening, and Fintech.
The SanctionsKit catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
SanctionsKit’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 27 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
