This project provides software that parses the SDN and Consolidated lists downloaded from the OFAC's website and then inserts the data from them into an Elasticsearch instance running locally. The software does not provide the locally running Elasticsearch instance.
ofacdb.py is a python3 script that parses the OFAC files (see the script for information on where such files need to be stored in order for the parser to find them). It does this by creating a local sqlite database (ofac.db) that is then read into the elasticsearch instance.
ofac-server.py provides a tornado-based webserver to receive POST requests representing database queries. These requests should have as their body JSON of the form {field: _field_name_, value: _the_value_} where _field_name_ is either name or address and _the_value_ is the string to be searched for.
The return value of these requests are JSON with all of the information (if any) related to the search term used.
