  4. When the service status is Active – each entry of a non-empty value in the query form window and pressing the “Run AML Scanner” / enter button or sending a technically correctly formulated request via API (in accordance with API documentation) is called Sending a query, which is immediately answered in in the form of text information (for Web Applications) or a message in JSON format (for requests sent via API).
