Configuring OpenSanctions Data

By default, yente is configured to fetch the full and up-to-date OpenSanctions database. To help us understand how commercial partners use the dataset, we ask customers to create a delivery token. The token itself is linked to a contract, it just helps us to provide relevant support. Please sign up at the customer portal - a delivery token will be created automatically and immediately. Set OPENSANCTIONS_DELIVERY_TOKEN in your environment and off you go!

If you're deploying yente using a Docker container, your docker-compose.yml could contain the token like this:

services:
  [...]
  app:
    [...]
    environment:
      OPENSANCTIONS_DELIVERY_TOKEN: "65ee4bdac5b3421fb41324198cb951b3"

Once you have decided to adopt the OpenSanctions database in a commercial setting, you need to purchase a license subscription.

...for non-commercial users

Non-commercial users and users exempted from commercial licensing may set YENTE_MANIFEST: "/app/manifests/civic.yml" to access OpenSanctions directly. This setting can be applied inside the docker-compose.yml file when docker compose is used to run yente.
