API Integration for Sanctions Screening
The core Sancticheck platform is a centralized sanctions operations workspace. For organizations that need embedded screening in internal systems, we offer an optional API add-on with REST endpoints, authentication controls, and event-driven workflows.
Screening Endpoint
Submit individual or entity payloads for sanctions screening and retrieve match confidence, source references, and disposition guidance.
POST /v1/screen
{
"entity_type": "individual",
"name": "Robert Mugabe",
"country": "ZW"
}Case Endpoints
Create, update, and resolve cases while preserving reviewer notes, evidence metadata, and status history.
PATCH /v1/cases/{id}
{
"status": "escalated",
"review_note": "requires MLRO decision"
}Integration patterns
Synchronous onboarding checks
Call screening endpoints during customer signup and block progression when match thresholds are exceeded.
Scheduled portfolio rescreening
Run daily or weekly rescreen jobs for active customers, employees, and third-party records.
Webhook event handling
Subscribe to case lifecycle events and update internal queues when statuses change.
Evidence export automation
Push report IDs and review outcomes into governance repositories or downstream reporting tools.
Technical implementation checklist
- Define screening trigger points and expected response latency.
- Map internal status taxonomy to Sancticheck case statuses.
- Implement retry, timeout, and idempotency handling.
- Verify webhook signature validation and dead-letter strategy.
- Capture structured logs for request IDs, match IDs, and case IDs.
- Test end-to-end with sandbox data before production cutover.
