Use them when your integration needs to review legal-risk findings, keep the original vendor report, or show the report PDF in your own product. BIL data is collected by running a BIL extraction. The extraction searches BIL using the entity's name, stores the parsed report data, and attaches the original XML and PDF report files. ## How BIL Reports Work 1. Start a BIL extraction for the entity. 2. Poll the extraction until it reaches a terminal status. 3. List the entity's BIL reports. 4. Retrieve the report by ID when you need the full report data or file references. 5. Download the XML or PDF file through the Files API. ## Requirements The entity must have a name. BIL searches are name-based, so the extraction cannot run for an entity without a name. BIL is a premium datasource. Before the `bil` extractor can run via the API, your organization must have a signed agreement acknowledging responsibility for BIL charges, including charges caused by mistakes or duplicate requests. Without that agreement, `POST /extractions` returns a validation error with the violation: ```json theme={null} { "propertyPath": "extractor", "message": "This extractor does not support creating extractions via API." } ``` If you see this error and the entity already has a name, contact your CSM or [Syntage Support](https://docs.syntage.com/using-syntage/faq/organization-billing-and-support.md#how-do-i-contact-support) to complete the BIL agreement before creating BIL extractions via API. For implementation details, see [Extraction request examples](https://docs.syntage.com/developers/extraction-request-examples.md#bil). ## What BIL searches BIL searches up to 156 sources and groups the findings in the vendor report. The sources cover the following areas: | Source group | Purpose and data available | | - | - | | Local, federal, and labor courts | Finds published proceedings, notifications, bulletins, edicts, parties, dates, and case identifiers when the court makes them available. | | Administrative sources | Checks tax, social-security, consumer, business-registry, procurement, concession, and government sanctions records. | | Political parties and public roles | Checks published party-affiliation rolls, legislators, public officials, PEPs, professional licenses, and other government lists. | | AML, terrorism, and corruption | Checks sanctions, debarment, terrorism, denied-party, shell-bank, and corrupt-practices lists from Mexico and other countries. | | Most wanted | Checks wanted-person, fugitive, detention, sex-offender, and law-enforcement lists. | | International sources | Checks international PEPs, leaks datasets, court records, official gazettes, tax-debtor lists, and records from other countries. | The fields returned for an individual match depend on the source. BIL preserves those findings in `data` and provides the original XML and PDF so you can review the source labels and evidence included in that report. > [!NOTE] > > Source availability and published records can change. A completed report shows the sources and findings returned for that search; it does not guarantee a match in every source listed below. ## BIL source inventory ### Local courts (26) * Tribunales Aguascalientes * Tribunales BCN * Tribunales BCS * Tribunales Colima * Tribunales Campeche * Tribunales Chihuahua * Tribunales Chiapas * Tribunales Ciudad de México * Tribunales Durango * Tribunales Edomex * Tribunales Guanajuato * Tribunales Guerrero * Tribunales Jalisco * Tribunales Michoacán * Tribunales Morelos * Tribunales Nuevo León * Tribunales Querétaro * Tribunales Quintana Roo * Tribunales Sinaloa * Tribunales SLP * Tribunales Sonora * Tribunales Tabasco * Tribunales Tamaulipas/Edictos * Tribunales Veracruz * Tribunales Yucatán * Tribunales Zacatecas ### Federal courts (5) * Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación * Expedientes documentales destruidos en la Suprema Corte * Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (Notificaciones) * Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (Boletín) * Quiebras y concursos mercantiles (IFECOM) ### Labor courts (7) * Tribunal Laboral de la Federación * Tribunal Laboral de la CDMX * Tribunal Laboral de SLP * Tribunal Laboral del Edomex * Tribunal Laboral de Veracruz * Tribunal Laboral de Sonora * Tribunal Laboral de Zacatecas ### Administrative sources (18) * Estrados SAT/Edictos * Estrados IMSS * PROFECO * SIEM * Proveedores sancionados por SFP * Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa de la CDMX * FOBAPROA * Contribuyentes incumplidos SAT * Operaciones falsas SAT * Contratos CompraNet * Inhabilitados SFP * Sancionados SFP * Contratos del Gobierno Federal (México) * Directorio Estadístico Nacional de Unidades Económicas (DENUE-INEGI) * Sancionados Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores * Concesiones Gobierno Federal (México) * Declaraciones patrimoniales (SFP) * Inhabilitados en estados ### Political parties (10) * Padrón de afiliados PRI * Padrón de afiliados PAN * Padrón de afiliados PRD * Padrón de afiliados PT * Padrón de afiliados Verde * Padrón de afiliados Movimiento Ciudadano * Padrón de afiliados Encuentro Social * Padrón de Humanista * Padrón de afiliados Nueva Alianza * Padrón de afiliados Morena ### Other sources (25) * Legisladores México (diputados/senadores) * Concesiones taxis DF * Cédulas profesionales (SEP) * Licencias suspendidas o canceladas DF * Licencias vigentes (CDMX) * Pensionados ISSSTE * Padrón ISSSTE * Padrón COFEPRIS * Aeropuertos y helipuertos * Personas políticamente expuestas (México) * Funcionarios federales * Sancionados por la COFEPRIS * Padrón de Entidades Suspendidas por la CNBV (PES) * Sindicatos CDMX/federales * Policías autorizados para levantar infracciones en la CDMX * Padrón de exportadores * Padrón de importadores * Comité Normativo Nacional de Consejos de Especialidades Médicas (CONACEM) * Edictos Tribunal Superior de la CDMX * PGJ CDMX (MP) * Archivo Judicial del Estado de México * Trasladados a cárceles de alta seguridad * Publicaciones de sociedades mercantiles * Tarjetas de desempleo * Nómina Gobierno Federal ### Money laundering, terrorism, and corruption (16) * Tesoro de los EUA (OFAC) * Sancionados por el Banco Mundial * Terroristas Al Qaeda * Terroristas Canadá * España (ETA) * Tesoro de Su Majestad (UK) * Prácticas corruptas (FCPA) * OCC Shell Bank * U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons * U.S. Government Denied Party * Defense Trade Controls List of Statutorily Debarred Parties * Sancionados UNSC (Australia) * Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU (Irán) * Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU (Costa de Marfil) * Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU (Somalia) * Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU (Libia) ### Most wanted (25) * En México * Por Interpol * Por la DEA * Por el FBI * En Ecuador * En Italia * En Francia * En Argentina * En Brasil * En Guatemala * En Chile * En Belice * En República Dominicana * En Costa Rica * En Sudáfrica * Puerto Rico * Vinculados a un proceso (Estado de México) * Servicio Secreto USA * Homeland Security USA (ICE) * Sex Offender (USA) * Fugitivos (Sheriff USA) * Agresores sexuales en México * United Kingdom * Japón * Europa ### International sources (11) * Líderes mundiales (PEP) * Órdenes de detención en Argentina * Sentenciados en Argentina * PEP (América/Europa) * Offshore Leak * Panama Papers * Bahama Leak * Paradise Papers * Central de detenidos Guatemala * Deudores fiscales UK y España * Capitol Breach Cases (FBI) ### Sources from other countries (13) * Tribunal Supremo de Justicia de Venezuela * Deudores alimentarios de Perú * Tribunal de Justicia de Panamá * Poder Judicial Honduras * Ejecución de penas y medidas de seguridad (Colombia) * Poder Judicial Uruguay * Poder Judicial Chile * España Boletín Oficial BOE * España BORME * España BOEB * Procesos penales en República de El Salvador * Antejuicios Guatemala * UK Court | Field | Description | | -
