## 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 aurenic-gleif-legal-entity-identifier-lookup-ac25d036
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the legal entity details for the LEI code 5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12 — I need the company name, registration status, and jurisdiction?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a known LEI code to structured legal entity metadata from the authoritative GLEIF registry. Prefer this over general company lookup APIs when you have a specific LEI and need compliance-grade, standardized entity data for KYC, trade reporting, or counterparty verification workflows. The pay-per-call model makes it cost-effective for on-demand lookups rather than bulk data subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed LEI code returns an error response
- LEI not found in GLEIF registry returns 404 or empty result
- Lapsed or retired LEIs may return limited data
- Network or upstream GLEIF API outage causes timeout or 5xx error
- LEI with pending registration may have incomplete data

## How this service works

Web scraping and AI automation. High-performance data extraction and pay-per-call microservices.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing GLEIF registry data for the specified LEI, typically including the legal entity's official name, registration status (active, lapsed, retired), legal address and country, entity category, and registration authority details.
