Hi there,

I've been asked by one of my colleagues if it is possible via the World-Check One API to separate API calls in order to bring back the following information on an entity:

  • News
  • Peps
  • Sanctions

From looking that the API call 'SEQ-5c: Get a World-Check profile' we do get this information, however, we have a client that is asking if we could return information that relates to News or Pep or Sanctions.

Kind Regards

Derek

    There are 2 ways to do this:

    1) Filtering all the responses that you receive via API based on the category. For example when you use request 'SEQ-5b: Get screening results', use a filter for an item called 'categories'. For example look for "categories": [ "Sanctions"] in the results

    2) Set up a group in the WC1 interface --> Admin --> Group --> Settings, and select only Sanctions or PEP sources to be screened against. In that way, API requests to that groups will only return matches from desired sources.

    There is no way to send, a filter criterion, in the API request to get back results only on Sanctions/PEP. Also, media searches are not currently available via API.
