## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you look up the LEI and legal entity details for JPMorgan Chase & Co in the GLEIF register — I need the legal name, status, jurisdiction, and registration number for a KYC check?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a company name or LEI code against the authoritative GLEIF global register for KYC, AML, or counterparty due diligence workflows. Prefer it over generic company search APIs when the LEI code specifically is required, or when you need legally authoritative entity data including jurisdiction, legal form, and registration number. Ideal for financial compliance automation where structured GLEIF data is the required standard.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for an obscure or misspelled company name
- LEI code not found if the 20-character code is invalid or unregistered
- Country filter returning no results if the entity is registered elsewhere
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the hosted Render instance
- Ambiguous name matching multiple entities requiring manual disambiguation

## How this service works

Look up legal entities in the global LEI register (GLEIF) by company name or 20-character LEI: exact legal name, status, legal form, jurisdiction, registration number, address and LEI renewal date. Use for KYC, counterparty checks and company identification.

## Output

Returns a list of matching legal entities from the GLEIF register, each including the 20-character LEI code, exact legal name, entity status (active/lapsed/etc.), legal form, jurisdiction, local registration number, registered address, and LEI renewal date.
