WhoWiki API documentation

The WhoWiki API screens names against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media, and verifies businesses over REST. We’re rebuilding it for commercial use, with more endpoints, higher limits, and monitoring. This is what it covers. Select any topic for the latest on the relaunch.

Questions about the API

Is the WhoWiki API available now?
Not yet. We’re rebuilding the Developer API for commercial use, with more endpoints, higher limits, and monitoring. Use the free tools in the meantime.
How do I get access when it launches?
Talk to our team to register your interest. We’ll let you know as soon as the API relaunches.
What will the API do?
Screen a name against sanctions, PEP, and adverse media, verify businesses, and monitor entities for new matches, all from primary government sources with the source and date on each result.
Can I use WhoWiki without the API?
Yes. The free tools cover sanctions, PEP, and business checks in your browser with no account. Start at the tools page.
