call03 9948 4089Adverse Media Check searches for negative news coverage of a person or a business and returns a summary of what was found, the articles it came from and the categories of conduct involved. It is an experimental endpoint and may change as it is refined.
For the technical detail, go to the API documentation. It holds the request and response schema, the integration guides and the error codes for this endpoint.
Accounts start in the sandbox. Production keys are issued once the account is approved.
Sanction and PEP lists do not cover everything a business needs to know about a customer. Adverse Media Check searches news coverage for a named person or business and returns what was found in a form an analyst can act on: a summary, the links behind it, and the categories of conduct the coverage describes. The date of birth and country narrow the results to the right subject.
The response carries a written summary of the adverse media found for the subject, with the name, and where available the age and location the coverage refers to.
A list of links to the news articles used to create the summary, so the analyst can read the source.
Each result lists the categories the subject is involved in: financial crime, violent crime, organised crime, drug offences, sexual offences, regulatory action, terrorism, scams and fraud, environmental violations, employment violations, and corruption and abuse of office.
A date of birth filters coverage that states an age or age range, and a country code is used as a hint to prefer results from that country.
Your system sends the person or business details. Coverage is searched and the summary comes back in the same response, with no polling.
This endpoint is experimental and subject to change as it is refined.
Your subscription is credited to your account each month and each check consumes credits from it. If you go past the included amount, further checks are charged at a per-check rate. The rate depends on the volume you commit to, so the sales team is the fastest way to find where your business lands.
PEP and Sanction Search, Court Check and Banned and Disqualified Person Search cover the structured sources; this check covers the press.
New accounts begin with sandbox access, and production API keys are issued once the account has been commercially approved.
