## 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 gleif-business-registry-fuzzy-name-screen-af8f7a85
```

Example prompt: Search the GLEIF registry for 'Siemens AG' — give me up to 5 ranked candidates with their LEI codes, jurisdictions, and registration statuses, filtered to Germany if possible.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as a cheap first-pass KYB step when you need to identify a company's LEI and confirm its legal registration status before doing deeper verification. Prefer this over full KYB verification endpoints when you only have a company name and need to disambiguate candidates or retrieve the LEI code. It is specifically useful when the company name spelling is uncertain (fuzzy matching), when you need to filter by country, or when you want to rank multiple possible matches before committing to a full compliance check.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found for the given company name — returns empty candidates list
- Invalid or missing 'name' query parameter — returns 400 error
- Country filter code not recognized — may return unfiltered results or error
- GLEIF upstream service unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Name too generic or ambiguous — returns many low-confidence candidates requiring manual review

## How this service works

Screen a company name against the GLEIF business registry: fuzzy name search returning ranked candidates, each with its LEI, legal name, jurisdiction, registration status and corroboration level. Cheap first step before kyb/verify.

## Output

A ranked list of candidate legal entities from the GLEIF registry matching the searched company name, each including: LEI code, official legal name, jurisdiction/country, registration status (e.g. active/lapsed), and corroboration level indicating data quality confidence.
