SanctionSnap – free 250 sanctions checks via API

Hacker News

Hi HN, I kept seeing teams pull CSV sanction files every day, so I built *SanctionSnap*. *What it does* - One REST call checks a name against 10 live lists (OFAC, UN, EU, UK, AU, CA, CH, JP, SG, plus a large PEP set). - Data refreshes daily. Typical response: ~150 ms. - Free tier: 250 calls a month, no card. *Quick test* ```bash curl -X POST " https://sanctionsnap.com/api/search " \ -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name":"Vladimir Putin"}' | jq Docs, pricing, and a web console (upload CSV/XLSX, filter, export) live here: https://sanctionsnap.com/docs I’d love your feedback on: 1. Matching quality—missed hits or false positives? 2. Filters you need (country, program, etc.). 3. Anything that blocks adoption in your stack. Thanks for reading!
