The supported sanctions, export-control and debarment sources named in the live offer, with its stated source dates and exclusions. Paid API coverage differs from free Text Cairn screening.
Limits
- Potential matches need review. A screen does not clear a person or company.
- The standard screen does not verify identity documents, discover beneficial owners or check politically exposed persons or adverse media.
- A new paid POST can create another charge. Poll the existing result URL to retrieve an unfinished screen.
- Result URLs contain access tokens. Keep them and payment credentials out of public examples and logs.
- Read the live offer for current price, payment requirements, retention and refund conditions.

Contact supportFrom a name to a reviewable finding
For a question such as “Did Example Holdings LLC or either of its two named officers match a supported list?”, supply the company and names in one request. You can add a person's date of birth and nationality. This example describes the request; it is not a completed screening result.
The response reports potential matches, source evidence and coverage gaps. Read the source dates and exclusions before interpreting a result. A name match needs review; finding no candidate in the checked snapshots does not establish clearance.
Pay once, then retrieve the result
Read the current offer before paying. An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with payment challenges. A supported wallet pays and retries the same request. The payment and setup guide covers the request, wallet approval, errors and refunds.
If screening is still running, HTTP 202 returns a result URL. Save that URL and poll it without paying again. A completed screen provides structured findings and a PDF URL. Result URLs contain access tokens, so keep them private. A new paid request can create another charge.
