# GLEIF LEI Entity Name Search

> GLEIF LEI Entity Name Search is a paid API for AI agents from foundry-par007-machine-revenue-mainnet.inference-chip-index.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Search for Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) by legal entity name, returning matched identifiers and registration evidence from GLEIF reference data.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-name-search-045d000f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search the GLEIF database for the LEI of 'Bloomberg LP' and return up to 5 candidate matches with their registration details?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find a company's LEI by searching its legal name — ideal for KYC/AML workflows, trade reporting, regulatory compliance, or entity matching tasks where you have a business name but need a verified LEI. Prefer this over direct GLEIF API calls when you need a pay-per-use, agent-friendly interface with structured provenance metadata. Use it before the LEI resolution endpoint when you do not yet have the LEI code.

## Known failure modes

- No matching LEIs found for an obscure or misspelled entity name — returns empty normalizedResult array
- Name too short (under 2 characters) or too long (over 120 characters) triggers input validation error
- GLEIF upstream API unavailability causes retrieval failure
- Ambiguous or common names may return many partial matches requiring further filtering
- Payment not fulfilled results in 402 response before query is processed

## How this service works

Pay-per-request evidence and data tools: CSV validation and reconciliation, DNS/email configuration evidence, and bounded official weather, earthquake, vehicle, company and study records. Exact USDC prices, explicit JSON contracts and source provenance. No mailbox, ownership, medical or safety guarantees.

## Output

A JSON object containing the search query echo, a list of normalized LEI records matching the queried name (each with LEI code, legal entity name, and registration details), provenance metadata including GLEIF source URL and license (CC0 1.0), freshness/cache state, and retrieval timestamp. Results are bounded by the requested limit (1–20).
