Veria SDK for Python

Official SDK for the Veria Compliance API - screen wallet addresses for sanctions, PEP, and AML compliance.

Installation

pip install veria

Quick Start

from veria import VeriaClient

client = VeriaClient(api_key="veria_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx")  # Get yours at https://veria.cc/choose-plan

# Screen an address
result = client.screen("0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e")

print(f"Risk: {result.risk}, Score: {result.score}")

# Check if should block
if result.should_block():
    print("Transaction blocked for compliance")

Features

• Full type hints for IDE support
• Supports Ethereum addresses, ENS names, Solana addresses, and IBANs
• Configurable timeout and base URL
• Proper error handling with typed exceptions
• Context manager support for automatic cleanup

API

VeriaClient(api_key, base_url=None, timeout=30)

Create a new Veria client.

client = VeriaClient(
    api_key="veria_live_xxx",           # Required: Your API key
    base_url="https://api.veria.cc",    # Optional: API base URL
    timeout=30,                          # Optional: Request timeout in seconds
)

client.screen(input)

Screen an address for compliance risks.

result = client.screen("vitalik.eth")

Returns ScreenResult:

ScreenResult(
    score=15,                    # Risk score 0-100
    risk="low",                  # "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical"
    chain="ethereum",            # Detected blockchain
    resolved="0x742d35...",      # Resolved address
    latency_ms=45,               # Processing time
    details=ScreenDetails(
        sanctions_hit=False,     # On sanctions list?
        pep_hit=False,           # Politically exposed person?
        watchlist_hit=False,     # On any watchlist?
        checked_lists=["OFAC SDN", "UN Consolidated", ...],
        address_type="wallet",   # wallet | contract | exchange | mixer
    ),
)

result.should_block()

Helper to determine if an address should be blocked.

result = client.screen(address)
if result.should_block():
    # Block the transaction
    pass

Returns True if:

• sanctions_hit is True, OR
• risk is "high" or "critical"

Risk Levels

Level	Score	Recommended Action
low	0-29	Proceed
medium	30-59	Review
high	60-79	Block recommended
critical	80-100	Block required

Error Handling

from veria import VeriaClient, VeriaError

try:
    result = client.screen(address)
except VeriaError as e:
    print(f"Error: {e.code} - {e}")

    # Handle specific error codes
    if e.code == "INVALID_API_KEY":
        # Re-authenticate
        pass
    elif e.code == "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED":
        # Back off and retry
        pass
    elif e.code == "TIMEOUT":
        # Retry with longer timeout
        pass

Context Manager

The client supports context manager protocol for automatic cleanup:

with VeriaClient(api_key="veria_live_xxx") as client:
    result = client.screen(address)
# Session automatically closed

Usage Examples

Pre-transaction screening

from veria import VeriaClient, VeriaError

client = VeriaClient(api_key="veria_live_xxx")

def safe_transfer(to_address: str, amount: float) -> bool:
    """Screen recipient before transfer."""
    result = client.screen(to_address)

    if result.should_block():
        raise ValueError(
            f"Recipient blocked: {result.risk} risk, "
            f"sanctions: {result.details.sanctions_hit}"
        )

    # Proceed with transfer
    return True

Batch screening

addresses = [
    "0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc454e4438f44e",
    "0x8576acc5c05d6ce88f4e49bf65bdf0c62f91353c",
    "vitalik.eth",
]

for address in addresses:
    try:
        result = client.screen(address)
        status = "BLOCKED" if result.should_block() else "OK"
        print(f"{address[:12]}... {status} (score: {result.score})")
    except VeriaError as e:
        print(f"{address[:12]}... ERROR: {e.code}")

Django middleware example

from veria import VeriaClient
from django.conf import settings

client = VeriaClient(api_key=settings.VERIA_API_KEY)

class ComplianceMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        wallet = request.headers.get("X-Wallet-Address")
        if wallet:
            result = client.screen(wallet)
            if result.should_block():
                return JsonResponse(
                    {"error": "Wallet blocked for compliance"},
                    status=403
                )
        return self.get_response(request)
