OFAC publishes in batches rather than continuously, so the month-to-month shape is the designation calendar, not a trend. A screening system that refreshes weekly can be a full batch behind the list.

Screen this programmatically

The same data behind this page is available as a single unauthenticated GET. It checks a counterparty name against all SDN primary names and alternate identities, and returns a match list rather than a yes/no so you can log what matched and why:

curl "https://sanctionsai.dev/sanctions?name=Bank%20Markazi"

The free tier allows 5 checks per day with no signup, which is enough to wire the call up and see the response shape. Production limits and the audit log are on the paid tiers; the API reference covers batch screening and the degraded flag you should alert on.

Your screening is only as fresh as your last fetch

SanctionsAI screens against the current SDN list on every call, so a batch published this morning is live in your flow this morning. One GET per counterparty, free tier, no signup.

Source. Every figure on this page is counted from the U.S. Treasury OFAC SDN enhanced XML export, published 2026-07-24. No figure is estimated. The authoritative list is OFAC's own Sanctions List Search.

Scope. SDN list only. This page does not cover the OFAC Consolidated (non-SDN) lists, the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications list, or the EU, UK or UN lists, and it does not apply the 50 Percent Rule, under which entities owned 50% or more by blocked persons are themselves blocked without being listed by name.

Not legal or compliance advice. A screening decision requires the official list and, where the stakes warrant it, counsel.
