This demo searches exact spellings. The API's fuzzy mode (mode: "fuzzy" with a threshold) catches typos and transliterations.

↑ Press Enter or pick a preset, live screening against real watchlists (rate-limited demo)

Capabilities

Search that never misses a match.

Fuzzy Name Matching

pg_trgm trigram similarity catches name variations, misspellings, and transliterations that exact-match queries miss.

  • Similarity threshold tuning
  • Multi-language support
  • Alias + caption search

Real-time Response

GIN-indexed golden_entities table returns results in a single synchronous call, no warm-up, no cache dependency.

  • Cold-start safe
  • Concurrent request support
  • Streaming response option

147M+ Entity Coverage

Sanctions, PEPs, debarred parties, and corporate entities, 450+ raw sources deduped into one canonical table, from OFAC SDN to Interpol, searched in a single API call.

  • Cross-source deduplication
  • Fingerprint normalization
  • Single API call

Scheduled Refresh

Sources are re-ingested on a scheduled pipeline from the official publishers and rebuilt into one deduplicated index.

  • Automated pipeline
  • Source integrity checks
  • Change delta logging

Schema Filtering

Filter by schema type, Person, Company, Organization, Vessel, to reduce noise for your specific use case.

  • Person / Company / Organization / Vessel
  • Combined schema search
  • Dataset attribution

Scored & Ranked Results

Fuzzy searches return a similarity score and a confidence band; every hit carries its matched datasets, risk tags and worst severity.

  • 0.0–1.0 score on fuzzy search
  • HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW confidence
  • Risk tags + worst severity
