The seven lists this gem reads today, in the order the README lists them.
Every field below comes from what the adapter declares and what
the canary
last measured into .github/baselines — nothing here is typed by hand, and
the full account of what each parser does and does not get right
lives in the README, condensed to one paragraph per source below.
un_consolidated| Key | un_consolidated |
| Jurisdiction | United Nations |
| Authority | United Nations Security Council |
| Publisher's update cadence | As the Security Council amends a sanctions regime. |
| Endpoint | https://scsanctions.un.org/resources/xml/en/consolidated.xml |
| Format | XML |
| Approximate record count | 1,011 (measured 2026-09-29) |
| Known data limitations | Place of birth, gender, title and designation have no structured field and are appended to remarks instead. One published name is split across four separate name-part columns, and the file carries empty placeholder alias nodes. |
| Licence and attribution | Copyright reserved by the United Nations. Published for implementation of Security Council measures; no open reuse licence is stated. Verified 2026-09-11. https://www.un.org/en/about-us/copyright |
eu_fsf| Key | eu_fsf |
| Jurisdiction | European Union |
| Authority | European Commission |
| Publisher's update cadence | As the Council adopts or amends a regulation. |
| Endpoint | https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fsd/fsf/public/files/xmlFullSanctionsList_1_1/content?token=dG9rZW4tMjAxNw |
| Format | XML |
| Approximate record count | 6,241 (measured 2026-09-29) |
| Known data limitations | No name is marked as the official one; which alias is primary is this adapter's decision, not the Commission's. Four birth dates are Hijri rather than Gregorian, and three of those produce no date of birth at all. Conditional GET does not work, so every sync downloads the full 25.7 MB file regardless of whether it changed. |
| Licence and attribution | Reusable under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU provided the source is acknowledged and no Commission endorsement is implied. Verified 2026-09-11. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec/2011/833/oj/eng |
uk_sanctions_list| Key | uk_sanctions_list |
| Jurisdiction | United Kingdom |
| Authority | Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office |
| Publisher's update cadence | Whenever a designation is made, amended or revoked. |
| Endpoint | https://sanctionslist.fcdo.gov.uk/docs/UK-Sanctions-List.xml |
| Format | XML |
| Approximate record count | 6,339 (measured 2026-09-29) |
| Known data limitations | 22% of published birth dates omit a day, a month, or both — spelled out as a placeholder (dd/mm/1962) rather than left blank. The FCDO's own non-Latin script labels disagree with the actual characters on a handful of names. A predecessor list, ConList.csv, is still live and still answers requests, though it stopped being updated on 28 January 2026. |
| Licence and attribution | Crown copyright, reusable under the Open Government Licence v3.0 with attribution. Verified 2026-09-11. https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/ |
canada_sema| Key | canada_sema |
| Jurisdiction | Canada |
| Authority | Global Affairs Canada |
| Publisher's update cadence | As the regulations are amended. |
| Endpoint | https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/assets/office_docs/international_relations-relations_internationales/sanctions/sema-lmes.xml |
| Format | XML |
| Approximate record count | 5,708 (measured 2026-09-29) |
| Known data limitations | No nationality, address, place of birth or document number for any record, and a date of birth for only a minority — the weakest list here for corroborating a name match (measured recall 0.880 against the UN's 1.000). Canada publishes no stable identifier, only a citation that gets renumbered when a schedule is amended, and aliases are one comma-joined string with no declared separator. |
| Licence and attribution | Reproducible for non-commercial purposes without charge or further permission, with the source identified. Commercial redistribution requires prior written permission from Global Affairs Canada. Verified 2026-09-11. https://www.international.gc.ca/gac-amc/notices-avis.aspx?lang=eng |
australia_dfat| Key | australia_dfat |
| Jurisdiction | Australia |
| Authority | Australian Sanctions Office, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade |
| Publisher's update cadence | As the Foreign Minister designates, and as the UN amends a regime. |
| Endpoint | https://www.dfat.gov.au/sites/default/files/Australian_Sanctions_Consolidated_List.xlsx |
| Format | Excel workbook (.xlsx) |
| Approximate record count | 4,010 (measured 2026-09-29) |
| Known data limitations | No document number of any kind for any record. The published Control Date is not a listing date, though it is on every row; the actual listing date is free text and is only read for 1,438 of 3,906 records. Birth dates arrive in nine different spellings, two of which are indistinguishable without reading the spreadsheet's own cell styles. |
| Licence and attribution | Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International, attributed to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The Commonwealth Coat of Arms is excluded. Verified 2026-09-11. https://www.dfat.gov.au/about-us/about-this-website/copyright |
- No politically-exposed-person data, no adverse media, no beneficial
ownership, no OFAC 50 Percent Rule resolution — a subsidiary that is
sanctioned only by virtue of its owners is not on any of these files.
- Seven lists ship: two US, one UN, one Canada, one EU, one UK, one Australia.
A jurisdiction outside that set is not covered.
- Non-Latin script is not transliterated. A Cyrillic name matches a Cyrillic
query and nothing else.
Adding a source walks through registering one.
