## 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-global-lei-registry-lookup-230aef50
```

Example prompt: Look up the official legal entity details for Deutsche Bank AG in Germany — I need the LEI, active status, registration number, legal address, and direct parent from the GLEIF registry.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, globally standardized legal entity data from the GLEIF LEI Index — the only ISO 17442-compliant source covering 200+ jurisdictions. Prefer this over local business registry APIs or third-party data providers when regulatory-grade KYB, AML, or compliance workflows require verified legal names, active status, and corporate hierarchy with a canonical identifier (LEI).

## Known failure modes

- No matching entity found for the given name or LEI — returns empty results
- LEI code malformed (not 20 characters) — validation error
- Country code not a valid ISO 2-letter code — bad request
- GLEIF upstream API unavailable — service error
- Ambiguous company name returns many results — caller should narrow with country filter or use LEI directly

## How this service works

Official legal-entity registry lookup (GLEIF Global LEI Index, 200+ jurisdictions): legal name, LEI, active/inactive status, legal form, jurisdiction, company registration number and authority, legal and headquarters address, creation date and direct parent. Search by name (optionally country) or by LEI. For KYB, compliance and due diligence.

## Output

Returns a list of matching legal entities, each with: legal name, 20-character LEI, active/inactive status, legal form, jurisdiction, company registration number and authority, legal address, headquarters address, entity creation date, and direct parent entity details.
