Data formats

We offer data in multiple formats, each suited to specific tools and use cases. Try them out on our default collection.

Statements-based CSV #

Data power users may also want to explore the statement-based CSV format, which provides per-value lineage and language metadata. This identifies the source, language and freshness for each claim (property value) about each entity.

Keeping up to date #

Once you've picked a format, see downloading the data for update cycles and stable URLs, and using delta files to process changes incrementally instead of re-importing a full export each time.

Specialized coverage exports #

Some of our specialized coverage areas ship their own dedicated export:

• Securities-centric CSV exports: a custom export of information about public companies and the financial instruments they issue.
• Maritime and vessel data: a shipping-focused data subset for screening vessels, operators, and owners against sanctions.
• Senzing entity data: data exports generated for use with the Senzing entity resolution engine.

If you would like to discuss a custom export format for OpenSanctions that is more suitable to your needs, please get in touch.
