# PEP / Sanction Sources

`GET /pep_sanction_sources`

- Live: `GET https://gdapi.globaldata.net.au/api/v2/pep_sanction_sources`
- Sandbox: `GET https://sandbox-gdapi.globaldata.net.au/api/v2/pep_sanction_sources`

Returns the PEP and sanction sources that PEP / Sanction Search draws on, with a readable name, a short
summary and a link to the publisher for each one.

The `source` values are the same keys that PEP / Sanction Search returns in `pep_matches` and
`sanction_matches`, so this endpoint can be used to show what each match means and where the
data comes from.

## Billing

This endpoint is non-billable. It requires the same product access as PEP / Sanction Search.
