Batch-screen organization names against the official US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. Downloads the public SDN.CSV, caches it for 24 hours, and returns one row per screened name with match / clean status, best hit, score and program codes. No API key.
Default scope is Entity (organization) only — suitable for B2B KYC / KYB and lead hygiene. Optionally include individuals, vessels and aircraft.
Who uses it
- KYC / KYB / compliance teams screening customer or counterparty org names.
- B2B sales & lead gen hygiene: drop or flag leads that hit US sanctions.
- Fintech / remittance / trade onboarding pipelines.
- Due diligence / OSINT enrichment before outreach.

Clean (no hit) rows still count as a screened name. RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store shows hit/clean counts and SDN entry count.
Pricing (pay per event)
- $0.002 per name screened (
name-screened) — charged for every input name (hit or clean). ~500 screens = $1. - Tiny start fee per run (
apify-actor-start). Failed list downloads / per-name errors are not charged. Set "Maximum cost per run" to cap spend.
