How this service works
Search the official GLEIF Global LEI Index by exact LEI or legal name and return ranked legal-entity identity, registration, mapped-identifier, and relationship-availability evidence.
Output
Returns ranked results from the GLEIF Global LEI Index including legal entity identity fields (legal name, jurisdiction, entity status), LEI registration metadata (registration status, initial/last update dates), mapped identifiers (BIC, ISIN linkages), and flags indicating availability of relationship (parent/child) data. Results are ordered by relevance to the input query.
Example use cases
KYB counterparty LEI verification
“We're onboarding a new institutional client called 'Barclays Bank PLC' — can you pull their LEI from the GLEIF index and confirm the registration is active, along with any mapped identifiers?”
Compliance LEI code validation
“I have this LEI code — 7H6GLXDRUGQFU57RNE97 — can you look it up in the GLEIF database and tell me what legal entity it belongs to and whether the registration is current?”
Parent entity relationship lookup
“Can you search the GLEIF index for 'Goldman Sachs International' and check whether there's parent or ultimate-parent relationship data available for them?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://apiacre.com/v1/research/lei-entity-searchWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, GLEIF-sourced legal entity identification — especially for financial compliance, KYC/KYB workflows, counterparty validation, or regulatory reporting. It is preferable over generic company search APIs when you need LEI codes specifically, registration status, mapped financial identifiers (BIC/ISIN), or parent-entity relationship flags backed by the official global LEI registry.
Side effects
- No matching entity found for the provided name or LEI — returns empty results
- LEI code format invalid or malformed — returns validation error
- GLEIF index temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout or 5xx error
- Ambiguous legal name matches multiple entities — returns multiple ranked candidates requiring disambiguation
- Rate limit exceeded or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
