## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-edcee6ff
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the company registered under LEI code 549300MLUDYVRQOOXS22 in the GLEIF database and tell me their legal name, jurisdiction, and current registration status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve, validate, or enrich a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) against the authoritative GLEIF registry — particularly for KYC, AML, compliance workflows, or financial counterparty verification. Prefer this over generic company lookup endpoints when the LEI standard is specifically required (e.g. MiFID II, EMIR reporting). Also useful when you have only a company name and need its official LEI and jurisdiction.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid LEI format (not 20 characters) returns a validation error
- LEI not found in GLEIF database returns a 404 or empty result
- Company name search may return multiple or zero matches if the name is ambiguous
- Lapsed or deregistered LEIs may still return but with status indicating inactivity
- Network timeout or upstream GLEIF API unavailability returns a 5xx error
