Actions vs Sources

cedric.lasbleiz

Hello,

When we call the resource Get a World-Check profile (GET https://rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com/v1/reference/profile/{{worldcheck-profile-id-encoded}}), we get replies with elements of type "actions", such as:

{
	"actionId": null,
	"actionType": "SANCTION", 
	"comment": null, 
	"endDate": null,  
	"files": [],  
	"publicationType": null,  
	"published": null,  
	"reference": null,  
	"source": {  
		"abbreviation": "CES",  
		"creationDate": "2013-03-21T13:41:10Z",  
		"identifier": "b_trwc_37",  
		"importIdentifier": null,  
		"name": "CANADA - CES- Canadian Economic Sanctions.",  
		"provider": null,  
		"providerSourceStatus": "ACTIVE",  
		"regionOfAuthority": "CANADA",  
		"subscriptionCategory": "STANDARD",  
		"type": {  
			"category": {  
				"description": "This gives details of individuals, companies and vessels with whom national or supranational bodies have decreed firms should not have financial dealings. Dealings with these designated persons or entities can lead to large fines, jail sentences and increased regulatory oversight owing to perceived failures in systems of internal control.",  
				"identifier": "ec_1",  
				"name": "Sanctions",  
				"providerSourceTypes": []  
			},  
			"identifier": "t_trwc_2",  
			"name": "Sanctions"  
		}  
	},  
	"startDate": null,  
	"text": " Mar 2018 - addition. PRIMARY NAME: HUA FU Other information: M/V HUA FU loaded DPRK coal at Najin, DPRK, on 24 September 2017. IMO number: 9020003. ",  
	"title": "CANADA"  
}

and elements of type "sources", such as:

 {  
	"abbreviation": "ACB-SANC",  
	"creationDate": "2013-03-21T13:41:09Z",  
	"identifier": "b_trwc_21",  
	"importIdentifier": null,  
	"name": "AUSTRIA - ACB-SANC - Oesterreichische National Bank - Sanction Lists",  
	"provider": null,  
	"providerSourceStatus": "ACTIVE",  
	"regionOfAuthority": "AUSTRIA",  
	"subscriptionCategory": "STANDARD",  
	"type": {  
		"category": {  
			"description": "This gives details of individuals, companies and vessels with whom national or supranational bodies have decreed firms should not have financial dealings. Dealings with these designated persons or entities can lead to large fines, jail sentences and increased regulatory oversight owing to perceived failures in systems of internal control.",  
			"identifier": "ec_1",  
			"name": "Sanctions", 
			"providerSourceTypes": []  
		},  
		"identifier": "t_trwc_2",  
		"name": "Sanctions"  
	}  
}

Given that the sources elements seem to be more complete, what is the actual difference between these two? Or what exactly are the "actions" elements?

Thank you.

@cedric.lasbleiz,

In the World-Check Profile, the details which have sanctions would result in an actionDetail for the entity. The actionid is just an internally generated unique key, and has zero value. The actionType will always be SANCTION.

Action is a subset of details. details attribute shown have the word SANCTIONS, so each will result in an ActionDetail for the entity.

The sources will contain the details on PEP, OB (Other Bodies), Regulatory Enforcement (RE), Law Enforcement (LE) and Sanctions.

Hope this helps.
