After releasing the new logic-v2 result scoring algorithm in September, we're planning to make it the default used by the OpenSanctions API service when no other algorithm is specified (or the best algorithm is selected). API users can prepare for this change in two ways:
- Adopt
logic-v2. The new system significantly reduces false positive alert rates and improves match quality. We also plan to make this new algorithm the focus of future feature enhancements and precision improvements. - Specify
algorithm=logic-v1as part of your query string to opt out of this change. This will freeze the use oflogic-v1, the currentbest/default algorithm. This option is recommended for API users where scoring changes may require a regulatory approval/notification. We may choose to fully retirelogic-v1within the next 24 months.
Please feel free to reach out to the support team with any questions regarding the new scoring algorithm.
