How this service works
The checks your agent runs before it acts: verify a bank account, a phone number, a law in force, the weather or a vehicle — computed from official sources, with provenance in every response. You only pay for answers.
Output
Returns a structured object containing the ownership chain in the requested direction(s): an 'up' block with parent entities up to the specified depth (with a 'chain_truncated' flag if the depth limit was hit and the declared ultimate parent), a 'down' block with direct children (capped at 100 with an exact 'total_children' count), or both. Blocks not requested are null (distinct from [] meaning no children declared). Each entity record includes provenance from the official GLEIF registry. Returns 404 (unbilled) for a well-formed LEI absent from the registry, and 400 for out-of-range depth.
Example use cases
KYC pre-payment ownership check
“Before we wire funds to this counterparty, can you look up their ownership chain using LEI 5493001KJTIIGC8Y1R12, going up 4 levels, so we can confirm who ultimately controls them?”
Subsidiary discovery for due diligence
“I need to find all direct subsidiaries of the holding company with LEI 2594007XIACKNMUAW223 — can you pull the down direction so I know which entities it directly owns?”
Ultimate parent identification for compliance
“We need to flag the ultimate parent of LEI 969500T3MBS4SQAMHJ45 for our sanctions screening — can you walk up 5 levels and tell me if the chain gets truncated anywhere?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.invoket.com/company/ownershipWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need machine-verifiable, provenance-backed corporate ownership data sourced directly from the GLEIF registry, particularly in compliance, KYC, sanctions screening, or due diligence workflows where accuracy and auditability matter. Prefer it over web-scraping or unstructured data sources when you need a reliable chain with explicit truncation signals and an exact subsidiary count. It is especially useful when you already hold a LEI (or can resolve one via the sibling /company/lei endpoint) and need to traverse parent or child relationships in a controlled, bounded way.
Side effects
- 404 returned (and not billed) when a syntactically valid LEI is not found in the GLEIF registry
- 400 returned when depth is outside 1–5 range — no silent trimming occurs
- 400 returned if direction is not 'up', 'down', or 'both'
- 400 returned if LEI is malformed or fails ISO 17442 check-digit verification
- Ownership data may lag real-world changes if GLEIF registry updates are pending
- 'chain_truncated' flag set when walk stops at the requested depth before reaching the ultimate parent
- 'total_children' may exceed 100 but only 100 direct subsidiaries are returned in the down block
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| leirequired | string | 20-character LEI (ISO 17442, check digits verified) of the entity to look up - required. Get it from /company/lei if you only hold a SIREN, a BIC or a name. A well-formed LEI absent from the reference is a 404, unbilled, with the same message as /company/lei |
| depthrequired | string | Chain depth, 1 to 5 (default 3). A HARD bound: out of range is a 400, never a silent trim - an agent that asks for 7 must know it was not served 7. When the walk stops on the bound, 'chain_truncated' says so, and the declared ultimate parent is still served |
| directionrequired | string | 'up' (default) walks the parents, 'down' returns 'direct_children' - the entities declaring this LEI as their direct parent, capped at 100 with 'total_children' exact - and 'both' does both. Only DIRECT subsidiaries are served, there is no multi-level org chart. A block you did not ask for is null, which is distinct from [] meaning 'asked, nothing declared' |
