How do we know the data is currently active?

From the response to GET API https://api-worldcheck.refinitiv.com/v2/reference/records/{referenceId}, how can I know whether the sanctions are still active? Is it as long as the “actions.endDate” is “null”?

And also for PEP data, is it active as long as “roles.end” is null? But there are some cases where both “roles.start” and “roles.end” are “null”, may I know the reason behind it?

    @boris.chan,

    To question 1:

    To ascertain whether sanctions are still in effect, you can locate information about the lifting of sanctions on an individual or entity within the text array. This section provides additional insights pertinent to the particular world check record in question.


    To question 2:

    Regarding PEP data, it is generally deemed active if the “roles.end” field is “null”. However, in instances where both “roles.start” and “roles.end” are “null”, it indicates that we are aware of the role being current, but the start and end dates have not been specified in the source document.


    Please feel free to let me know if you need further information.
