We’d like to strongly advise all customers that are using the [`all`](https://www.opensanctions.org/datasets/all/) dataset to use [`default`](https://www.opensanctions.org/datasets/default/) instead.

The `all` dataset is an internal artifact of our data infrastructure. Other than having a pleasing name, it is a strictly inferior data product. As of February 2025, we’ve reduced the update frequency of `all` to monthly updates - meaning that **users of the `all` scope will use outdated data in their systems**.

`all` also includes data meant for internal verification/testing purposes which should not be included in production systems (unless you have a regulatory requirement to screen for 1990 “Die Hard” movie villain, John Gruber).
