# Screening Lists

This endpoint allows you to retrieve a list of all Sanctions and Watchlists available as part of a [Screening Check.](https://docs.complycube.com/documentation/api-reference/check-types/aml-screening-check) Typically, it enables users to create Screening Checks with [specific scopes](https://docs.complycube.com/documentation/api-reference/check-types/aml-screening-check#the-screeninglistsscope-object) in line with their KYC approach.

By default, all the lists are used when performing an **Extensive Screening Check**. Only a subset is used for a **Standard Screening Check**.

The lists are updated in real time, so the returned values are expected to change.
