How each guide is built
Every guide cites primary sources directly — OFAC's own site and data files, or the SEC's own EDGAR documentation and endpoints — rather than summarizing a third party's summary. Each one links to a matching free, no-signup tool on this site that does the live lookup, and a "Do it via API" section with the exact x402 (pay-per-call USDC), MCP, and RapidAPI calls if you want to automate the same lookup.
These guides are informational, not legal, compliance, or investment advice — see the disclaimer at the bottom of each one. Full free-tool index: /tools/index.html. Full paid catalog: /shop.
