Search

Overview
The Politically Exposed Person (PEP) API provides a two-step asynchronous service for verifying whether an individual is identified as a politically exposed person. It allows secure, reliable, and scalable checks using a unique search_id for result retrieval.

Getting Started
To use the PEP API:

Obtain an API Key – You need a valid API key to access the API.
Initiate a Search Request – Send a POST request to the /pep-check/search endpoint with the required parameters. The response will include a search_id.
Fetch Results – Use the search_id to fetch results from the /pep-check/results endpoint after a short delay.

Authentication

The PEP API uses API Key Authentication.
Include your API key in the request headers using

Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If an invalid or missing API key is used, the API returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error.
