Adverse Media Search

Screen individuals and organisations against adverse media sources

Adverse Media Search (AMS) lets you screen an individual or organisation against web-based adverse media sources — news articles, court records, and other publicly available content.

The feature is also available through the Flash Connect portal. You can perform the AMS directly from the UI, view your request history, and monitor usage statistics without writing any code. This can be useful for getting familiar with the feature before integrating it into your application via the API.

You can run a search via the adverseMediaSearch mutation or past searches via the amsRequest and amsRequests queries. Scans run in the background and can take several minutes. Use webhooks or poll the amsRequest query to track progress. See AMS statuses for the full lifecycle.
