## 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-lookup-search-2e7cea0c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the company 'Deutsche Bank AG' in the GLEIF LEI register and tell me their LEI code, registration status, and registered address?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as a fast, cheap first-pass verification of a legal entity before deeper company screening or KYC workflows. Ideal when you have an LEI code to validate or need to resolve an entity's official legal name and status from the authoritative global register. Prefer this over national company registries when operating across multiple jurisdictions or when the entity's LEI is already known.

## Known failure modes

- LEI code not found in GLEIF register — returns empty or error result
- Company name search returns no matches — ambiguous or unregistered entity
- LEI status is LAPSED — entity no longer has an active registration
- Invalid LEI format — malformed code rejected
- Multiple matches for a name search with no jurisdiction filter — returns list of candidates
- Upstream GLEIF API unavailable — service may return error or timeout

## How this service works

LEI lookup (Legal Entity Identifier) from the official GLEIF register. Look up by LEI code or search by legal name (optional jurisdiction filter). Returns the official legal name, entity status, registration status (ISSUED/LAPSED), jurisdiction, legal form and registered address, with a direct GLEIF source link per record. Legal entities only. Ideal cheap first check before deeper company screening.

## Output

Returns the official legal name, current entity status, LEI registration status (ISSUED or LAPSED), jurisdiction, legal form, and registered address for matching legal entities, along with a direct link to the GLEIF source record.
