Important Information

As of May 2021, new API users, and those who choose to upgrade will receive search results in a new format.

This new format will include all Sanctions search results in one Array/List of "SearchResultEntry" type objects, rather than multiple arrays of different typed objects.

If you have created an API account prior to May 2021 or you have not upgraded to the new format, you will continue to receive the legacy format.

You can view the documentation for both formats below.
