Sanctions Screening (OFAC, EU, UN)
Screen a person or company name against the official OFAC SDN list (with aliases), the EU consolidated financial sanctions list and the UN Security Council consolidated list. Fuzzy, word-order independent matching with scores, list, program and aliases. Lists refresh every 12 hours. A screening aid, not a legal determination. Params: name (required), type ('individual' or 'entity', optional), threshold (0.5 to 1, default 0.85), limit (default 10).
