Quick Start

Let’s build a “sanctions screening” policy step by step.

Step 1: Define the Rule

We want: screenings with no sanctions match pass sanctions screening.

A **screening** passes sanctions screening
if __sanctions_match__ of **screening** is equal to false.

Let’s break this down:

Part	Meaning
A **screening**	We’re evaluating a screening object
passes sanctions screening	The outcome if conditions pass
__sanctions_match__	Access the sanctions_match property
of **screening**	From the screening object
is equal to false	The comparison
.	End of rule

Step 2: Try It

Interactive Example

Reset

Policy Rule

A **screening** passes sanctions screening if __sanctions_match__ of **screening** is equal to false.

Test Data (JSON)

{ "screening": { "sanctions_match": false } }

▶ Run

Try changing sanctions_match to true and running again — the result should flip to Fail.

Step 3: Add More Conditions

Let’s require that the customer is also from a supported country:

A **screening** passes sanctions screening
if __sanctions_match__ of **screening** is equal to false
and __country__ of **screening** is not equal to "IR".

Interactive Example

Reset

Policy Rule

A **screening** passes sanctions screening if __sanctions_match__ of **screening** is equal to false and __country__ of **screening** is not equal to "IR".

Test Data (JSON)

{ "screening": { "sanctions_match": false, "country": "GB" } }

▶ Run

Step 4: Call the API Directly

You can evaluate this policy via a simple HTTP call:

curl -X POST https://api.policy2.net/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: <your-api-key>" \
  -d '{
    "rule": "A **screening** passes sanctions screening if __sanctions_match__ of **screening** is equal to false.",
    "data": { "screening": { "sanctions_match": false } }
  }'
