OFAC data vs an integrated screening API
Official lists are necessary. They are not a complete operating surface.
KYB & Due DiligenceSanctions & Restricted PartiesPublic source vs packaged API
Best for
For teams evaluating whether direct source access is enough.
What official source access gives you
Official access is the baseline. It proves the data is real and current.
- • Direct authority source
- • Useful for manual verification
- • Good for one-off checks
What an integrated API adds
An integrated layer compresses multiple manual steps into one reusable path.
- • Faster search surface
- • Reusable export shapes
- • Same key across related public-data products
The question is not access. The question is repeatability.
Official sources remain the authority. The product layer earns its keep by shortening the path from signal to export, saved search, monitoring, and repeatable delivery.
