## 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 citiview-legal-entity-registry-lookup-gleif-lei-4b2203aa
```

Example prompt: Look up the official GLEIF legal entity record for Siemens AG in Germany — I need their LEI, registration number, legal status, registered address, and direct parent.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need authoritative, official legal entity data sourced directly from the GLEIF Global LEI Index — the gold standard for KYB, AML, and compliance workflows. It covers 200+ jurisdictions and returns structured data including LEI codes, legal status, registration authority, and corporate hierarchy (direct parent), making it superior to general web searches or unverified business directories for regulated use cases.

## Known failure modes

- No entity found for the given name or LEI — returns empty results
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — returns a list requiring further filtering by country or LEI
- Invalid LEI format (must be exactly 20 characters) — returns validation error
- Unsupported or misspelled country code — may return no results or ignore the filter
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works
