Example prompt: Can you look up the legal entity details for LEI code 5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12 — I need the registered name, status, and address from the GLEIF registry?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you have a specific LEI code and need to resolve it to an official GLEIF entity record in real time. It is preferable over web scraping or third-party aggregators because it sources live data directly from GLEIF under CC0 1.0 license, requires no subscription or API key (pay-per-request via x402), and returns structured machine-readable JSON. Best suited for KYC, AML compliance, counterparty verification, and financial data enrichment workflows where authoritative, current LEI data is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed LEI code returns an error or empty data block
- LEI not found in GLEIF registry returns success:false or empty data
- Network timeout results in failed request
- Expired or lapsed LEI may return a record with inactive status rather than an error

## How this service works

Resolve companies, legal entities and financial reference data using authoritative sources. Machine-native, pay per request, no subscription.

## Output

A JSON object containing the entity's GLEIF LEI record, including legal name, registration status, entity type, registered address, and provenance metadata (source: GLEIF, license: CC0 1.0, freshness: live). The response includes a 'success' boolean, 'complete' flag, any 'warnings', and the entity 'data' block.
