Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 celerapi-lei-search-81bf120f
```

Example prompt: Search the GLEIF LEI register for 'JPMorgan Chase & Co' and give me its LEI code, entity status, and jurisdiction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, live LEI data sourced directly from GLEIF — the global standard for legal entity identification used in financial regulation (MiFID II, EMIR, Dodd-Frank). Prefer this over company registry searches when the use case is counterparty identification, regulatory reporting, or KYC enrichment requiring a globally unique and standardized entity code. Unlike general company search endpoints, this returns LEI-specific structured data with CC0-licensed provenance metadata.

## Known failure modes

- No matching entities found for the given search term — returns empty data with success:true
- Ambiguous name matches multiple entities — returns multiple candidates requiring further filtering
- GLEIF upstream API timeout — may return partial results with complete:false and a warning
- Malformed query parameters — returns success:false with error detail
- Rate or payment issues — HTTP 402 if payment header missing or insufficient

## How this service works

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

## Output

A structured JSON response containing matched legal entity records from the GLEIF live register, including the LEI code, official legal name, entity status (active/inactive/pending), jurisdiction, registration authority, and provenance metadata (source: GLEIF, license: CC0 1.0, freshness: live). The 'success' and 'complete' fields indicate whether the query resolved fully, and 'warnings' surface any data quality notes.
