2.1.12

Release date: December 12, 2022.

We are pleased to announce the release of Screena API version 2.1.12, with a number of new features and improvements to enhance your experience with Screena.

New Features

  • Whitelisting of specific watchlist aliases: A new custom library has been added to allow you to whitelist specific watchlist aliases, such as 'SALEH' on the EU list.

  • Keyword retrieval endpoint: An endpoint has been added to retrieve all keywords per dataset or across all of them: GET /rest/v2/datasets/keywords/{label}.

🪄 Improvements

  • Improved control over low-quality watchlist aliases: An option has been added at API key level to prevent matches against low-quality watchlist aliases.

  • Name concatenation handling: Screena has been improved to handle the concatenation of names starting with the same letters, so that 'ST STE' no longer matches with 'JSC RUSTE'.

  • Narrative matching: Screena now matches narratives more accurately by discarding stopwords combined with a suffix.

  • Normalization rule improvements: Inaccurate matches resulting from the normalization rule transforming numbers to letters have been prevented, for example, '10 S' no longer matches with 'Savanhu, Tendai' after transformation to 'Ten S'.

  • Synchronous dataset import: Small-size datasets can now be imported synchronously.

🪛 Bug Fixes

  • Core library content: Some elements were declared incorrectly in the core library of suffixes, causing irrelevant matches. This has now been fixed.

🛡️ Security Enhancements

  • API key length: The length of API keys has been increased to provide 24 bytes of entropy, up from 12 bytes.
