About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

ComplyAdvantage provides AI-driven anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crime risk detection - screening people and companies against sanctions and watchlists, politically exposed persons (PEPs and RCAs), and adverse media, with ongoing monitoring that alerts you when a customer's risk profile changes. The REST API (api.complyadvantage.com, with US and APAC regional bases) exposes searches, monitored searches, case management, comments, tags, and users with api-key auth, plus webhooks for match and monitoring updates. The newer Mesh platform API adds customer lifecycle screening, cases and alerts, transaction monitoring, and fraud detection workflows.

Access model: the API reference at docs.complyadvantage.com is fully public, but API keys are account-gated - they are generated inside the ComplyAdvantage web platform. The self-serve Starter Plan (from $99/month, sized by a 100-2,000 monitored-entity allowance) includes full API access; payments screening and transaction monitoring require a custom-priced Enterprise agreement. Sandbox accounts are available for integration testing. The OpenAPI document and collections in this repository were modeled from the publicly documented endpoints; paths and parameters are grounded in the published reference, while response schemas are summarized rather than exhaustive.

APIs

ComplyAdvantage Search API

Screen a person, company, organisation, vessel, or aircraft against ComplyAdvantage's sanctions, watchlists, warnings, fitness and probity, PEP, and adverse media data. Create searches with fuzziness control, exact-match mode, and filters (entity type, birth year, country codes, risk types), list and retrieve past searches, pull full hit details and paginated entities, update match status, risk level, and whitelisting on hits, and download a search certificate PDF for your audit trail.

  • Adverse Media
  • AML

Properties

ComplyAdvantage Monitored Search API

Turn any search into ongoing monitoring so customers are automatically re-screened as sanctions lists, PEP registries, and adverse media change. Start and stop monitoring on a search, swap the associated search profile, retrieve what changed (new, updated, and removed matching entities), and acknowledge changes. The monitored_search_updated webhook pushes change notifications to your systems.

Properties

ComplyAdvantage Case Management API

Treat screening results as managed compliance cases - assign a search to an analyst, set match status (potential match, true positive, false positive, no match) and risk level, add and retrieve comments on a search, attach and detach key-value tags, and use client references for client-scoped whitelisting of recurring false positives.

ComplyAdvantage Users API

List the users on your ComplyAdvantage account so searches and cases can be assigned to the right analyst by user ID.

ComplyAdvantage Mesh Platform API

ComplyAdvantage's newer Mesh platform API, authenticated with OAuth2 bearer tokens (24-hour validity). Covers the full customer lifecycle - customer creation and screening (sync or async), risk scoring, cases and alerts with stage transitions and assignments, transaction screening and monitoring for payments fraud, custom and lookup lists, webhook and email notifications, data exports, user and role administration, and regulatory reporting (CTR/SAR prefill). Documented separately at docs.mesh.complyadvantage.com with its own OpenAPI schema for customers.
