The EODHD Sanctions API provides programmatic access to U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions data \u2014 the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) and consolidated sanctions lists. It covers sanctioned entities and individuals, sanctioned vessels, and the sanctions programs under which designations are made. The data is refreshed every weekday from the official OFAC publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The API exposes four endpoints: entities<\/strong> (people and organizations), vessels<\/strong> (sanctioned ships, with maritime identifiers), programs<\/strong> (the list of sanctions programs with designation counts), and sources<\/strong> (the upstream data providers currently ingested). All endpoints share the same authentication and JSON response envelope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
