# Screen a name against the sanctions corpus

`POST /api/v1/entity/screen`

Screen a person or organization name against the sanctions corpus and return a screening signal (`clear`, `review`, or `hit`) with matched records. Fail-CLOSED on staleness: if the underlying list is stale, a `hit` or `clear` result is downgraded to `review` and `meta.stale_screening` is set to `true`. ENTITY-4: optional `corpus` selects `sanctions` (default - Western/IGO + PEP), `rf_regulatory` (Russian domestic Minjust lists), or `all`.

## Request body

- EntityScreenRequest
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `country` string, nullable
  - `dob` string, nullable
  - `nationality` string, nullable
  - `as_of` string, nullable
  - `threshold_hit` number
  - `threshold_review` number
  - `corpus` 'sanctions' | 'rf_regulatory' | 'all'
  - `include_excluded` boolean
  - `identifier` RfIdentifierRequest — RF-only exact identifier (INN/OGRN/SNILS/domain/...). Not OFAC docs.
    - `type` 'inn' | 'ogrn' | 'snils' | 'reg_number' | 'domain' | 'url', required
    - `value` string, required

## Response `200`

Screening result with status and matches, plus list-freshness and staleness metadata in the envelope `meta`.

- unknown

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header. JSON body with a stable `code` distinguishing `missing_api_key` (no header sent) from `invalid_api_key` (header sent, key not accepted); any other 401 source carries the generic `unauthorized` with its detail as `reason`. Plus `hint`. `plan` is always null on 401 - an unauthenticated request has no plan; quota exhaustion is 429, not 401.
- `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.
