# Compose the adverse-media slice of the KYB envelope

`GET /api/v1/entity/{anchor}/{value}/adverse-media`

Resolve an entity by `(anchor, value)` and return ONLY the `adverse_media` slice: recent news linking the entity to AML risk categories (financial crime, money laundering, fraud, corruption, bribery, sanctions evasion, terrorist financing, tax evasion). Linkage is keyword-based (entity name co-occurring with an AML risk term) and is supplementary and non-comprehensive. The GDELT GEG entity index confirms/disambiguates hits and raises `precision` (`low` keyword-only, `medium` entity recognized in the recent window, `high` the specific article was entity-extracted for this entity); `disambiguation` and `entity_match` report the confirmation state - see the slice `coverage_note`. This slice is SOFT: a data outage degrades to a null slice with `meta.partial=true` and returns 200, never 503 (the adverse path does not screen, so it cannot fail closed to 503).

## Path parameters

- `anchor` string, required — Entity anchor type (`lei` or `vat`).
- `value` string, required — Anchor value (e.g. the LEI code or the VAT number).

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header.
- `422` — Validation Error
- `429` — Daily rate limit exceeded. Check `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the next window.
- `503` — Upstream source is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay.
