OpenSanctions Status FAQ

Is OpenSanctions down right now?

PulsAPI checks OpenSanctions every 60 seconds. The verdict at the top of this page comes from the latest poll of the official OpenSanctions status feed and refreshes automatically, so you are not looking at a stale cached answer.

What should I do if OpenSanctions is not working?

Check the component list on this page first to see if your failure matches a known outage. If it does, you can report the issue for other engineers, follow the incident timeline for vendor updates, and run any fallback your app supports until OpenSanctions recovers.

How do I check OpenSanctions uptime history?

PulsAPI tracks OpenSanctions uptime over 30, 60, and 90-day rolling windows. The current 30-day uptime is 100.00%. A free PulsAPI account unlocks the full 90-day SLA history and incident timeline for OpenSanctions.

How fast does PulsAPI detect OpenSanctions outages?

PulsAPI polls the official OpenSanctions status page every 60 seconds and usually delivers alerts to Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or email in under 4 seconds after detection. That is often faster than someone on your team notices on their own.
