The canonical UN Security Council consolidated sanctions scraper for Apify. Downloads the UN Security Council Consolidated List directly from scsanctions.un.org, parses every INDIVIDUAL and ENTITY record, and returns normalized JSON ready for AML/KYC screening pipelines, NGO compliance, bank onboarding, and export-control workflows.

The UN consolidated list is the master sanctions list that all UN member states are legally bound to implement under Article 25 of the UN Charter. It covers every active UN sanctions committee — Al-Qaida / ISIL (Da'esh), Taliban, DPRK, Libya, Mali, Somalia, Sudan, Guinea-Bissau, Yemen, Central African Republic, DRC, ISIL & Al-Qaida sanctions, and more. Most national screening programs (US OFAC, EU, UK HMT) include UN-designated parties as a baseline, but the UN list itself is the authoritative source.

What you get per sanctioned entity

Every record returned by this actor follows a normalized cross-source schema (same shape as our OFAC SDN, EU, and UK HMT sanctions trackers):

Input — every filter is optional

{
"entity_search":"taliban",
"sanctioning_program":"TALIBAN",
"entity_type":"Individual",
"maxResults":100
}

• entity_search — case-insensitive substring match against name and aliases
• sanctioning_program — substring match against UN list type / committee code
• entity_type — all, Individual, or Entity
• maxResults — cap on output (1–5000, default 100)

Use cases

• Bank onboarding & KYC — screen new customers against the UN master list as part of CIP / CDD obligations
• NGO grant compliance — verify aid recipients and field partners are not UN-designated parties
• Exporters & trade compliance — block shipments to UN-designated entities and vessels
• Crypto exchange compliance — screen counterparty wallets and beneficial owners
• Government procurement — verify suppliers and subcontractors against the UN list
• Correspondent banking — screen respondent banks and their beneficial owners
• Charity regulators & audit firms — vet boards and trustees against UN designations
