What is LexisNexis?
LexisNexis is a RELX company providing legal research, public records, digital identity, fraud prevention, and financial crime compliance solutions. Its products power KYC/AML screening, sanctions and PEP checks, adverse media research, due diligence, investigative work, claims analysis, and identity verification at scale.
Core product families include:
- Risk and Compliance (e.g., sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening, due diligence, onboarding)
- Investigations and Public Records (e.g., Accurint)
- Legal and News Research (e.g., case law, dockets, company filings, premium news)
- Digital Identity and Fraud (e.g., device intelligence, email/phone risk, identity checks)
Common data entities:
- Subjects (persons and organizations)
- Screenings and monitoring jobs
- Watchlist hits (sanctions, PEP, enforcement, adverse media)
- Reports, saved searches, and research workspaces
- Identity verification transactions and risk signals
The LexisNexis Integration Challenge
Organizations rely on LexisNexis daily, but turning portal-based workflows into automated pipelines is hard:
- Product-specific access: Different portals (e.g., Diligence, Accurint, Bridger Insight) have distinct interfaces and entitlements
- Strong enterprise security: SSO, MFA, and network controls complicate headless automation
- Portal-first delivery: Key capabilities reside in web apps rather than unified, public APIs
- Licensing and granular entitlements: Content rights, role-based controls, and usage limits must be respected programmatically
How Supergood Creates LexisNexis APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer.
- Handles username/password, SSO/OAuth, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses so you can integrate once and rely on consistent objects across products
- Aligns with customer entitlements and licensing constraints to ensure compliant access

API Endpoints
Authentication
/sessionsEstablish a session using credentials. Supergood manages MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and SSO/OAuth when enabled. Returns a short-lived auth token maintained by the platform.
Authentication
/sessions/refreshRefresh an existing token to keep sessions uninterrupted.
Screening
/screeningsCreate a new sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening for a person or company. Optionally enable ongoing monitoring.
Screening
/screeningsList screenings with filters and summary results.
Reports
/reports/{reportId}Retrieve a compiled due diligence report (e.g., screening packet with subject details, match rationale, and evidence). Returns metadata and a time-limited signed URL for download.
Use Cases
KYC/AML Screening Automation
- Trigger person or company screenings during onboarding - Retrieve and triage sanctions/PEP/adverse media hits with normalized scoring - Enable continuous monitoring and receive alerts on material changes
Investigative Research Consolidation
- Aggregate public records and news findings into unified reports - Centralize saved searches, clippings, and report artifacts in your case system - Enrich internal profiles with LexisNexis-sourced identifiers and relationships
Identity Verification Orchestration
- Run identity checks against multiple signals (name, DOB, address, email, phone) - Leverage device and behavioral risk indicators to reduce fraud - Route outcomes to approval, review, or decline queues programmatically
Compliance Archival and Audit Trails
- Export complete screening packets with metadata and hit rationales - Timestamp and store artifacts for auditability and regulatory retention - Prove coverage with consistent, machine-readable evidence
