KYC6 Search API 3.0

Overview

The Acuris Risk Intelligence (ARI) Search API 3.0 allows you to query the Acuris Risk Intelligence datasets using a set of search parameters.

It is delivered over HTTPs, conforms to RESTful principles, and returns JSON objects.

This version of the API offers:

• A new and improved data model with more granular content and stricter data types.
• A superior matching algorithm that has been trained using Machine Learning and boasts features such as abbreviations, aliases, patronyms, noise word elimination, synonyms, typos, similar sounding names and transliterations, to name a few. The new algorithm has been shown to reduce false positive rates by 50%.
• New search options.
• A significantly faster response time with advanced scaling capabilities.
