What you get

⚠️

Risk Scoring

Each article is scored high / medium / low based on keyword analysis. Arrest, indictment, and conviction signals elevate risk; source credibility amplifies it.

🏷

Category Tagging

Articles are automatically tagged: Financial Crime, Corruption, Terrorism, Drug Trafficking, Human Trafficking, Environmental Crime, Fraud, Sanctions.

📊

Source Credibility Tiers

Tier 1 (Reuters, BBC, SEC, major nationals), Tier 2 (regional outlets), Tier 3 (unknown). A high-risk hit from Tier 1 carries far more weight than from an unknown blog.

🔁

Deduplication

GDELT indexes the same story from dozens of outlets. Amlyfy clusters near-duplicate headlines and keeps the most credible source.

🏛

Regulatory Search

Dedicated endpoint scoped to official regulatory domains — SEC, CFTC, DOJ, Treasury. Zero noise from tabloids.

📦

Batch Screening

Screen up to 50 names in a single POST request. Ideal for onboarding queues and periodic compliance reviews.

🕒

Search History

Every search is persisted with a risk breakdown. Pull an audit trail for any API key — queryable by name and date.
