An open database of international sanctions data, persons of interest and politically exposed persons
OpenSanctions aggregates and provides a comprehensive open-source database of sanctions data, politically exposed persons, and related entities. Key functionalities in this codebase include:
We build on top of the Follow the Money framework, a JSON-focused anti-corruption data model, as the schema for all our crawlers. FtM data is then optionally exposed to simplified formats like CSV.
The easiest way to run zavod is to use Docker. See the documentation.
If you want to make changes to the code or debug an issues, you'll want to set up a development environment. Read more about how to install zavod in a local Python virtual environment in the documentation
Crawlers that use Data Reviews need human review of extracted data. See ui/README.md for how to run the review UI locally.
nomenklatura provides a framework for storing data statements with full data lineage, and for integrating entity data from multiple sources. It also handles the data enrichment function that links OpenSanctions to external databases like OpenCorporates.The code within this repository is licensed under the MIT License.
