The OpenSanctions database provides datasets for enriching your knowledge graph: link our data to your in-house records using the Senzing® entity resolution engine, and the resulting connections will alert you to sources of risk - sanctioned companies, politically exposed persons, or other listed entities you might be exposed to.
Our data is meant to be easy to work with: grab a full bulk data extract, build a prototype data pipeline - and, if it produces results, become a commercial subscriber. Thanks to Senzing's Generic Entity Specification, Senzing's own data format, we can produce ready-to-load exports that make our rich data model available to the entity resolution engine.
Senzing data exports are available for all of our source datasets. For ease of use, however, we recommend you explore one of the following data collections:
| Dataset name | Description | Senzing data |
|---|---|---|
| OpenSanctions Default | Full sanctions, PEP, crime and associated risk graph | JSON |
| Sanctions | Subset: Government-published sanctions lists | JSON |
| Open Ownership | Beneficial ownership data published by Open Ownership | JSON |
| GLEIF | Companies that have a legal entity identifier (LEI) | JSON |

OpenSanctions is free for non-commercial users. Businesses must acquire a data license to use the dataset.
