Sanctions Screening

Sanctions Screening is a simple rest endpoint that receives a GET request with a name to be matched against a pre-set Sanctions list. If the name provided matches by more than or equal to 75% of any item in the Sanctions list, the program returns a Hit. This service uses Spring Boot and JUnit for unit testing.
