## 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-lei-entity-lookup-search-612ae68f
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the official GLEIF LEI record for Airbus SE in France — I need their LEI code, current entity status, and registration status to check if it's still active?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, official legal entity data sourced directly from GLEIF's golden copy — especially for regulatory compliance, KYC/AML enrichment, counterparty verification, or confirming an LEI's current validity. Prefer over scraping corporate registries or unofficial sources when you need standardized, globally consistent entity data under CC0 licensing.

## Known failure modes

- LEI code not found — returns empty result or 404 when querying a non-existent or malformed 20-character LEI
- No name matches — search returns empty array if no entities match the name/country filter
- Invalid query parameters — missing both 'lei' and 'name' may return an error or empty response
- Rate limiting or upstream GLEIF unavailability — may return 5xx errors
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.005 USDC required; missing or invalid payment returns 402
