Open source →BREAKING CHANGE
Watchman has undergone a complete overhaul of it's API endpoints, public models, search methodology, performance, and much more. We've redesigned Watchman to offer a unified endpoint and models to search sanctioned entities from any supported list. We encourage you to try out the new Watchman and report back any issues, comments, concerns you have.
IMPROVEMENTS
- search: unified endpoint and model for all supported lists
- search: better performance for concurrently processing sanction lists
- search: integrate libpostal for address parsing and normalization
