Hello, CompliAPI: a new platform for sanctions screening

Today we're shipping a brand-new CompliAPI platform. Same mission — easy OFAC sanction list lookups, geo-fencing checks and a sanctions screening VPN API for developers — on an entirely rebuilt foundation.

What's new

A faster screening API. The /api/v1 REST API screens crypto addresses, emails, websites, government IDs and countries against the U.S. Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list in real time. Exact lookups are instant, and government-ID checks match partial IDs, returning candidates ranked by similarity so you get the full context to decide whether escalation is needed.

curl https://api.compliapi.com/api/v1/screen/crypto/0x7F367cC41522cE07553e823bf3be79A889DEbe1B \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMPLIAPI_TOKEN"

An MCP server for AI agents. This is the one we're most excited about. Every screening endpoint is now also exposed as a tool over the Model Context Protocol, so AI assistants and agents can run sanctions checks directly inside their workflows — same API token, same quota, same audit trail as the REST API. If your compliance workflow is increasingly agent-driven, CompliAPI now speaks that language natively.

Fresh data, on a schedule. OFAC list ingestion runs automatically every 15 minutes, and the live entity stats on our homepage show exactly how many onchain addresses, emails, websites, government IDs and countries we're tracking — and when the list was last updated.

A new dashboard. API keys, usage metering and billing all live in a rebuilt dashboard, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required to start.

Getting started

1. Sign up and grab your API key — no credit card required.
2. Make your first request against /api/v1/screen/....
3. Point your agent at the MCP server if you want tool-based screening.

The API documentation covers every endpoint. If you have questions, feedback or feature requests, drop us a line — we're here to help.
