API
Connecting to Advanscreen’s Default API.
To perform a screening via the API, your system should send a web request to our server using the following URL format:
https://OURLINK?userName=xxxx@xxx.xx.xx&password=xxx&search=first$middle$last
Parameter Details:
- `OURLINK` – The specific API endpoint URL provided upon request.
- `userName` – Your Advanscreen account username.
- `password`– Your Advanscreen account password.
- `search` – The full name to be screened, with name parts (first, middle, last) separated by the `$` symbol. The order of name parts is not important. Hyphens within a name part (e.g., *Ben-Yosef*) are treated as part of that name.
Example Response (JSON Format):
The API returns a JSON array, where each entry represents the result of the screening against a specific sanctions list. Each result includes the name of the list and a Boolean value indicating whether a potential match was found.
“`json[
{ “ListName”: “Israel A”, “ReturnValue”: false },
{ “ListName”: “Israel B”, “ReturnValue”: false },
{ “ListName”: “USA”, “ReturnValue”: false },
{ “ListName”: “EU”, “ReturnValue”: true },
{ “ListName”: “UN”, “ReturnValue”: false }
]
“`
If any list returns a value of `”true”`, it indicates a potential match. In such cases, users can log in to Advanscreen’s web interface to review the match, add notes, generate PDF reports, and take further actions.
Important Notes:
- Always perform the screen using the name exactly as it appears on the subject’s official identification document, without phonetic variations, as required by law.
- All screenings, whether initiated via the API or the web interface, are recorded under your Advanscreen account and can be accessed at any time.
- The number of returned JSON entries may vary based on the number of sanctions lists available for your account. Plan your integration accordingly.
- The system does not perform name transliteration or transcription. For example, if a sanctions list is in Hebrew, the input name must also be provided in Hebrew to be matched correctly.
