Verifex Python SDK

Official Python SDK for Verifex - Real-time Sanctions Screening API.

Screen persons and entities against OFAC, UN, EU, UK, Canada, and PEP lists in a single API call. 730,000+ entities across 9 data sources.

Installation

pip install verifex

Quick Start

from verifex import VerifexClient

client = VerifexClient("vfx_your_api_key")

# Screen a person
result = client.screen("Vladimir Putin", type="person")
print(result.risk_level)        # RiskLevel.CRITICAL
print(result.total_matches)     # 1
print(result.matches[0].name)   # "PUTIN, Vladimir Vladimirovich"
print(result.matches[0].source) # "OFAC"
print(result.matches[0].confidence)  # 100

Screening

Single screening

result = client.screen("John Doe")

if result.is_clear:
    print("No matches found")
else:
    print(f"Risk: {result.risk_level}")
    for match in result.matches:
        print(f"  {match.name} ({match.source}, {match.confidence}%)")

With filters

# Filter by entity type
result = client.screen("Sberbank", type="entity")

# Filter by country
result = client.screen("Ali", country="Iran")

Batch screening

results = client.batch_screen([
    {"name": "Vladimir Putin", "type": "person"},
    {"name": "Jane Doe"},
    {"name": "Sberbank", "type": "entity"},
])

for r in results.results:
    status = "MATCH" if r.is_match else "CLEAR"
    print(f"{r.query['name']}: {status} ({r.risk_level})")

Usage and Keys

# Check usage
usage = client.usage()
print(f"Plan: {usage.plan}")
print(f"Used: {usage.current_month_usage} / {usage.monthly_quota}")
print(f"Remaining: {usage.remaining}")

# Health check (no auth required)
health = client.health()
print(f"Status: {health.status}")
print(f"Total entries: {health.total_entries}")

Error Handling

from verifex import VerifexClient
from verifex.types import ApiError

client = VerifexClient("vfx_invalid_key")

try:
    result = client.screen("test")
except ApiError as e:
    print(e.code)        # "UNAUTHORIZED"
    print(e.error)       # "Invalid or revoked API key"
    print(e.status_code) # 401

Risk Levels

Level	Confidence	Meaning
critical	90%+	Exact or near-exact match
high	75-89%	Strong fuzzy match
medium	60-74%	Moderate similarity
low	40-59%	Weak match
clear	No matches	No matches found
