ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database Exporter

Export entities, officers, intermediaries, addresses and relationships from the ICIJ Offshore Leaks Database. The Actor streams the official bulk archive, normalizes its collections and supports up to 500,000 records per run without an API key.

Who uses this data

• AML/KYC and enhanced due-diligence teams
• Corporate ownership and entity-resolution platforms
• Investigative journalists and academic researchers
• Risk, compliance and sanctions-screening analysts
• Graph/network analysis pipelines

The database contains more than 800,000 offshore entities and exposes the people, addresses, intermediaries and relationships connected to multiple ICIJ investigations.

Important: A person or company appearing in the database does not imply illegal or improper conduct. ICIJ explicitly warns users to verify context and identity before reaching conclusions.
